Installed "GScript Lite" and BusyBox --> Extracted modemswitch.zip --> Copy /sdcard/modemswitch/switch.sh to the /sdcard/gscript/ directory--> "Add Script", --> select switch.sh--> saved.

Tried this from GScriptLite: switch

Rotohammer's Modem Switcher

Current modem=yyyyyyy

Flashing files ...

Switching to Phone/2G

The Tab never reboots and it doesn't switches to 3G. It returns back to GScriptLite. Switcher is on Edge --> my browser takes me directly to MY\t-mobile.com and does not let me browse the web. Did I miss something?

I have been using my tab for a couple of months now. All i can say is that it is excellent. I am running MocaDo r1 . It is fast and never crashes it does almost everything that i do on a pc.

I use dolphin hd as i find it the best browser. I use Quick office. The built in email client is great except it does not add to calender.

Games are excellent. Movies play fine from the stock video client.

Battery life is very good, it lasted 10 hours of constant use, i watched 3 movies in the 10 hours before the battery died.

I hope most of those who have read my review will take the time to set their android tablet up just the way they want it.

This is not an ipad, and in order to get the same (or better) performance out of it, you have to look into some customisation options.

Start with changing lcd density in build.prop for example. I have mine at 180. Also, consider installing adfree in order to remove ads from inside applications. Look for a better browser than that in stock roms - i use dolphin mini and it runs like butter on the vast majority of pages. Uninstall (or freeze if youre paranoid) useless services and branded bloatware - just how many Europeans actually use gtalk? And what about text-to-speech or speech-to-text?

This oiperating system is all about making things just the way you like, and many of the default options are just too rough hewn to be as useful as they are on ios.

nice, good review

Excellent opinion.

well i recently got my SGT. So far i dont regret it. I chose it over apple ipad and asus eetab. Reasons. Android and possoble modding :D. Flash support and HD support.

What about iPad 2? J think the second gen Galaxy Tab will a minor upgrade, just a 8.9 inch screen. IMO, i find the s

SGT tooo laggy despite the 1Ghz CPU - with no apps running.
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
Go to Market and get OCLF, which is a overclock and lag fixer.

You will need root to make this work, it makes a sizeable difference.
[Galaxy Tab General] tabbler:
I LOVE my SGT.

And ever since I flashed it with Overcome it's been so much soother. :)

2 months dating with this powerful Gtab and just landing in this forum to get more and more
[Galaxy Tab General] greekn1c:
Hi everyone

I bought my tab from germany it is T mobile and i can make phone calls using other carriers so it is not locked. the firmware i have is the following:

PDA=P1000BOJJ2

PHONE=P1000XXJID

CSC=P1000DTMJJ4

I have no problems with my tab but i wanted to ask if i will get any updates through KIES and if not should I change to other firmware ?

Thanks for yr replies
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I would flash one of the custom roms, like overcome. They will always use the latest and greatest features, including those ripped from roms your Kies will not see due to region restrictions.
[Galaxy Tab General] leetut:
Ive just written my review here but the Gtab crashed before I could post it!

so just to make it quick.. the Gtab is the worst unstable buggiest device ive ever owned!

dont know if its androids fault or samsungs fault but its absolutely awful, buzz...buzz buzz buzz all the time

My ipad on the other hand has never froze or crashed, all apps and games are at least 10 times better, keyboard typing is perfect, and the device is ready to use as soon as iturn it on, unlike my Gtab that freezes unless I leave it for ten mins after turning it on and always crashes when I pick it up

From an ex nokia user thats never had an iphone or an android device before, sorry for any spelling mistakes there the tabs fault not mine! Its awful to type on

Waiting for the iphone5:)
[Galaxy Tab General] alphard_alshua:
I think your tab has hardware issue, bring to the store and maybe you can get a replacement?

Anyone else notice that the tabs touchscreen supports five finger multitouch?

Just tried it in fruit ninja.
[Galaxy Tab General] tgrdrgrss:
SGT indeed support 5 touch-points. But some apps didn't give support more than two-points. Yes, did try with Fruit Ninja and other multi touch scree apps related, and it shows 5 points too.
[Galaxy Tab General] dxwilliams40:
Good Product

I have had my SGT for a little less than a month. I love the fact that I can customize it to fit my needs. Currently running Overcome ROM 1.4.2 with Launcher Pro.; Added Rotohammer's modem switcher, and I have great product. Not sure if I would have picked it up at the $499 retail point though. Verizon had a special this past weekend offering the tab for $99.00 with 2 year contract on wirefly. That was a steal. Almost bought another, but decided to wait on the new slimmed 8.9 Galaxy tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
im torned between buying an ipad or a galaxy tab. i need it asap and unfortunately, only ipad 1 and gtab are the ones available on my country(philippines). ipad 2 and honeycomb(motorola xoom) are expensive anyway..

i wish htc and samsung would release the flyer and 8.9 already!!!!!

so is this phone worth it?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I would only buy it as a reader right now. Standby of over 3 weeks is the major advantage. If you want a tablet running android for the other kicks, look into taiwanese slates based on the a8 or tegra architectures. They are most gratifying at 10" plus, even with low memory.

This is the beauty of android.
[Galaxy Tab General] prinzhernan:
I just bought the Tab here in the Philippines for 20k (around $499) with no contract. Worth every cent. It's fast and portable. Does everything I need it to do. I have an iPad 3G but I always leave it at home because of the size. Originally planned to get a 8.9 but realized it's too big for me. Besides, all I do is read books and type out court cases. I play games but not much. I got the Tab because the price is unbeatable for the value for me. Also planed to get the Galaxy S 2 but realized I don't need a dual core phone for what I usually do with my phone. The Tab has replaced my laptop and I get everything done pretty well.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Its still a great device. The standby of two weeks alone is worth it!
[Galaxy Tab General] Xenium:
2 weeks standby is quite impressive, I just ordered one today from telstra(an australia ISP), looking forward to seeing it next week :-)

Hi

Nice review

Do you think the new Galaxy Tab is better?The old one is really cheap now, about 400 like new-used
[Galaxy Tab General] olyloh6696:
It is still a great tablet (battery wise) but im afraid the 1ghzsingle core is benid and laggy
[Galaxy Tab General] wintermute000:
laggy? not on overcome ROM

I only spent literally 5 minutes on stock before taking the plunge, but I can categorically state that on Overcome 1.4.5 custom ROM, it is greased lightning. Even without applying any custom overclock.

Maybe yours is still got those teething issues with RFS and the like, have you kept it up to date with official updates and / or tried custom ROM?
[Galaxy Tab General] maystorm:
Bought my SGT a few months ago and it has become my constant companion wherever I go. ;-) It's perfect for mobile use, just seems to have the right size, fits nicely into jeans and jacket pockets.

However, it gets quite laggy from time to time and recently it started to just reboot on its own. I'm the type of person who downloads and tries lots of apps (games, applications, system tools, what have you), so I think my unit has become polluted by some not-so-nice-behaving services running in the background which have a negative impact on the overall stability of the Android system. I was not able yet to find the exact cause of the reboots and laggyness.

I was wondering whether installing a custom ROM (like the mentioned Overcome) would help to stabilise my tab? Would this be a rather painless procedure? Of course, I don't want to lose my personal data (files, contacts, documents, etc), so I'd appreciate if someone could be so kind as to point me into the right direction how a switch to a custom ROM could be done as easily and risklessly as possible.

TIA!
[Galaxy Tab General] thepittbull:
Hey maystorm...

Well, just head on to the Overcome thread in the dev section... I've written a (hopefully) pretty comprehensive guide to help new users like you get on the Overcome ROM... it's all in the guide, like tips for backing up your data and all of that...

If you've been running the stock ROM, then Overcome will blow your mind... especially with the latest kernel that the developer, alterbridge86, has just released a few days back!
[Galaxy Tab General] PooCrazy:
how to test Quadrant? :)
[Galaxy Tab General] maystorm:
@thepittbull:

Thanks for pointing me to the right thread! Had a glance at the docs, very well done. The Easter weekend seems to be the ideal time for me to work through the docs and give it a try.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
With setcpu profiles i have seem standby of over 3 weeks!

That really is impressive - but only in airplane mode of course ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] thepittbull:
Glad you like it...

It's not as complex as the 13-ought pages make it seem, but it's more thorough to address, hopefully, any issues a newbie might encounter... plus having the Overcome ROM on your Tab, really opens up new performance options or particularly in my case, huge battery savings!

[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
I love my tab. I love the size. Fits perfect on my tiny bag. Is not difficult to maintain and does it job well.

Another thing i love about my tab is the phone features that goes with it. It becomes a great back up phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] okarr:
got my tab a few days ago and am absolutely blown away by it.

every thing is so open and customizable. fantastic.

touchscreen is very responsive as are the menus themselves.

i went for the GT over the ipad because i find it less pretentious ;)

The smaller form factor is perfect for me on public transport. also after having had an iphone3/4, macbook air and regular macbook i came to the conclusion that apple does in fact not "just work". they are still nice devices and i continue to use them but it was time for android.

initially i had problems with the stock browser which was taking ages to load and display pages. quickly replaced that with opera, dolphin and skyfire (depending on task at hand). while this was an improvement it would still occasionally be sluggish, especially with large pictures or flash.

However a firmware upgrade fixed this (not sure exactly to which version i upgraded).

the only really annoying thing about the tab is the stock onscreen keyboard.

i am not much of a swyper (yet?) and the stock keyboard insists on minimizing. this is due to the fact they placed buttons at the bottom right and left corner. exactly in the spot in which your palm will touch the screen when two thumb typing.

this happens to me both in portait but especially in landscape mode.

i replaced the stock keyboard and the problem is now less prominent, i do however still hit the corner buttons occasionally.

apart from that i am very happy with my purchase. i am now a tab addict :D

3G provider is swisscom in switzerland. their sales person was termendously incompetent, to the point where he tried to insert the sim the wrong way for half an hour, even using a screwdriver!

I am on a 10g/month (excess shaped) and network performance is fab.
[Galaxy Tab General] APipeDream:
Good review, I have a strange love affair with mine ever since I got it.
[Galaxy Tab General] o2sys:
ex-Ipad owner

Went from an iPad to Galaxy tab and have no regrets what so ever. You never notice the limitation of the iOS until you have tried Android. This is my first Andriod device as well.

I am more of a on the go person and the ipad just became too big and heavy for many things and felt like chucking it sometime because it was just unportable. Having cases just made it even bulkier.

Even at home it was too big to be holding in the bed or couch. Have a 9.7" too close to the face was not optimal.

Also you cant hold it comfortably one-handed without the worry of dropping it.

Typing unless on a table was always annoying.

As far as performance, seems on par with the ipad but having flash support just make the browsing experience better and complete.

Quick pros of the SGT:

-Portability

-Accessibility of settings and customizations

-Size

Cons:

-Battery life

-Some pictures from the web are blurry and pixelated, not sure if that is because its Froyo

-Not as snappy or responsive as ipad
[Galaxy Tab General] siggehandf:
I got myself a galaxy tab a few days ago. I spend roughly three hours a workday on public transportation. I find the tablet to be perfect fit for my needs. The screen is perfect in sunlight, which is very important to me. I can carry the phone in my backpocket, which means little hassle when i have change at stations etc.

Battery life is spot on and with gingerbread the performance of the tablet is amazing!

A perfect fit for anyone who got a lot of transport time!
[Galaxy Tab General] slim_thumb:
Once the price of the GT comes down, I grabbed an TMo version (to be used as a wifi tablet, no phone no 3G).

I rooted the tab with super1click and applied OCLF. I am very happy with the speed and smoothness thsrefore I never contemplate installing a custom ROM. The only minor problem was erratic wifi disconnect but this seems to be fixed by removing a folder in /data/misc/dhcp.

I am more than happy, this is the first Android tab which works really well out of the box. My Archos 70 IT worked OK until official firmware upgrade screwed up Adobe flash video in the browser. Installed custom ROM but plagued by wifi problem. The Samsung GT is also much faster and responsive than the Dell Streak 5 (also need custom ROM to run Adobe flash properly).

Just received the BT keyboard + case: the TMo verson of the GT hooks up with the KB without a hitch. The KB keys are rahter small though.
[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
im really glad i did not buy those giant 10 inch tab.

7 inch i guess is the perfect size for my taste. i can always carry it around easily. after the GB update, GPS and browsing only became better.

flashed my gtab with eu ginger 2.3.3, added netflix and video capabilities to gtalk. device runs little better than original Samsung's version, EU rom added phone dialer as well. in general; having ipad and android i can say ipad is still better. UI fully cooked runs much smoother in ipad. android - hate the stock browser, no ntlm support even in ginger. have to use slow ass firefox that has no flash, so go ipad,

now ipad2 is out, wont consider buying android until google fully bakes its android UI and polishes other goodies
[Galaxy Tab General] perling:
Hmmmm ipad 2 sucks :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab General] olyloh6696:
as much as i love my tab., i have to say the ipad 2, hardware-wise, is better than sgt... (dualcore etc etc)

BUT...

IMO, i prefer android more!
[Galaxy Tab General] olyloh6696:
Anyone in UK got 2.3 yet? how can i get OTA update>??

[Galaxy Tab General] PunkRock:
Thanks, your review was very help full.
[Galaxy Tab General] FC1032:
My experience is mostly the same.

Overtime, you find apps which are better etc... So far I've found these apps to be really good for what they do:

Internet browser: Opera mini, stock one on overcome works well too.

Task switcher: Perfect task switcher (looks a little like web os, very fluid and smooth)

A bunch of games: Robotek, need for speed, angry birds, GBA emulator works well in portrait and landscape (though I much prefer portrait if I don't use LR buttons)

Some other misc apps: Pulse reader :) dropbox... MIUI camera, google music (the headphones buttons can skip and stop)

I'm thinking about removing the startup and shutdown sequence to speed up boot / shutdown.

But now I'm wondering if the eyecandy is just there to show progress and there are already things happening in the background while it displays.

Q: Will removing the startup / shutdown sequence result in faster boot / shutdown?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madic:
It's not just eyecandy.

There are already things happening during the startup sequence.

Imagine you would remove the startup sequence from windows.

You can't.

You can hide it but there are things happening during this time.

So you gain zero speed improvements.

Hi Guys,

I have some strange Problems syncing my Google Calendars.

It shows my Default Calendar and syncs it, but all other calendars i have are not visible in Android 2.2's Calendar App --> Means that its not possible to sync them.

Once it worked by resetting the device to factory defaults - then it showed up all calendars. But that can't be the truth, resetting MY DEVICE to sync a stupid calendar?????.

I don't want to loose all my data and settings (of course i know that i can do backups etc...)

What i tried it:

-Deleting Dalvik Cache

-Deleting normal Cache

-Removing Calendarstorage

...but nothing worked. Just the default Calendar and no other...

Does anybody have a tipp for me how to FORCE google Calendar to sync all Calendars, is there a file i need to edit or someshing else? Maybe a fix from the market?.

I tried also to remove the google Account from Android but that was not possible in Android 2.2. I guess in it worked in Android 2.1....really strange!

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furybury:
What I did when shared calendars weren't showing up was to go to settings->application->calendar storage and do a 'clear data' and 'force stop'. Repeat for calendar app as well.

Next time it synced it showed the other calendars.

And yeah, I noticed too that you can't delete the account anymore due to it being used blabla :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PPeterC:
Are there any other fixes or workarounds to try, I've noticed I'm getting this problem too? It's probably been there a while, but it's only now I've updated one of my other calendars.

I've tried clearing data, forcing a stop, or rebooting, but nothing seems to work.

Curiously, although only "My Calendar" and the default Google calendar appear for selection in the default calendar app, all the other calendars (whether they're personal Google calendars or public ones like "UK Holidays") appear for selection to display in a few third-party apps I've tried. Unfortunately, all these apps seem to use the actual calendar data, so even if the other calendars are selected, nothing is displayed because the stock app won't sync.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exstarosta:
I've got the exactly same problem. I am using Froyo 2.2.1 and tried clearing data, forcing stops, reboots, format cache partition...and nothing. I can select the other calendars in Smooth Calendar widget and Touch Calendar (although they dont show the events on the calendar) But I cant see them in Android Agenda widget and in Stock Calendar app.

This is really frustrating. :mad: Is it really that hard to make those small things work?:confused: Please help!
