I do have juice defender but it doesn't seem to be doing anything...why do u suggest not turning off mobile data?
[Fascinate General] cabagekiller:
I did it before and it seemed if I left it off for a long time, the next time I turned it on it bogged down my phone from syncing. But this was on my droid and froyo seems to not like syncing...But I also feel it seems to detract from the point of having a smartphone being connected to wireless data. If I feel my phone will die while I am gone, I just grab another battery to use.

My phone is working fine now on Bonsai4All, so this is more of a comment or general question.

My phone had the "official" DK28, CWM 2.5, and RFS.

I followed the directions for installing Bonsai4All, and the installation seems to have gone well until the end, when the phone apparently re-booted on its own, and acted strangely during that reboot --- it alternated between the Samsung animation and the word "android" as an animation. It did this repeatedly for maybe 10 minutes. It wouldn't respond to any buttons. So I took the battery out, and rebooted. The phone seems to have booted normally, but again, none of the buttons worked. I then took the battery out again, and this time booted to CWM3 by the usual "down volume, camera, on". That worked fine, so I decided to re-install the bonsai ZIP file. This time, it seems to have worked OK, and on reboot got the Bonsai tree boot animation.

Many of my apps failed to work until I deleted them and then re-installed them.

Now everything seems to work. Works great!!!
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
This is a common issue for users who try to install Bonsai on a fresh stock DK28 install. It has been reported several times in the Bonsai thread. It's designed to flash from an existing ROM so it can backup and migrate your data.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Yet, when upgrading to CWM3 many people have to flash via odin back to DK28 stock bc CWM3 doesn't play well with other RFS roms and gives the "not found" error when trying to convert to ext4. A bit of a conundrum, and I think the OP should state this step in install steps, bc it is easily skirted by just reflashing Bonsai.
[Epic 4G General] fsc137:
OK, thanks. May I humbly suggest that the Bonsai installation instructions have some additional steps for Bonsai newbies? Would it help to wipe to stock before the first installation? It's a bit much to expect everyone to read through the hundreds of posts on the bonsai thread, prior to the first installation.

It's such a good ROM, my phone seems to now have all the features working.

I'm very grateful & made a donation.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Yeah the rom is designed to NOT wipe, but for those of us just upgrading to CWM3, then to bonsai, are kinda forced to wipe (not wipe, but odin to a 'wiped', clean rom) which then causes the problems. Maybe he just needs to add the step for those who come from stock dk28.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
That added step would probably be to flash something like Bonsai 1.1.4 after DK28 so that Bonsai 2.0 doesn't choke when it installs. IIRC, 1.1.4 still has dual file system support and could be done even before converting to cwm3/ext4.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Alot of.this is explained in the bonsai thread. It just takes a little bit of reading.

I have to poke my head in a say that I was happy to see this thread as I have been reading the bonsai thread wanting to move to 2.01. but have been leary to, as I haven't read a post referencing if coming for a dk28 custom rom(rfs) with cwm 2.5.1 will work with a flash of cwm3 installer and then a bonsai flash. I love my setup now its so stable but I would like the improvements, and I like the idea of keeping all my data. I've seen a lot of talk of the issues discussed above from stock dk28, but my worry is more of cwm 2.5.1 should I be worried or will cwm3 work fine over 2.5.1? I do have to say that reading is absolutely necessary but alas I do think that most of the OPs for various roms could use a bit of work, but hey at least thy can code right? Thx everyone!

[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
Once you get into CWM3 for the first time and EXT4 and everything is happily in place you should be able to wipe the phone completely (format /data /cache and /system) and flash the rom and it should be happy.. never had any kind of issues personally, but yes the script is designed to backup all your data and restore it, perfect if you're upgrading to a new version of Bonsai, bad if you're coming from a stock dk28 rom.. best to start with a clean slate once you've made the switch to ext4 I think.
[Epic 4G General] fsc137:
upgrade to ext4 and CWM3 worked without wiping

As I said at the top of this thread, I had DK28 and CWM 2.5.0, no ext4, and did the Bonsai install without erasing anything. The first boot resulted in flaky behavior and locked-up switches, but a subsequent boot to CWM3 (after removing the battery after a couple minutes to turn off the phone) allowed me to re-install the bonsai zip file and then the OS seemed to be OK. At that point, I still had all my apps and data, but the apps from the marketplace could not write to memory. I had to delete them all and re-install from the marketplace, and then everything worked. It was a benefit not having to restore all my data and files.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
CWM3 will install over 2.5.1.x just fine.

You can install bonsai 2 with a combo of 2.5.1.0 and 2.5.1.2, but it takes a bit more work. At a minimum you will have to format to ext4 instead of letting cwm3 do it. I'm not sure if you would have to manually flash the no-journal mod or if bonsai will still install it through 2.5.1.2.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Bonsai will install it.

Thx guys. I went ahead and took the plunge and with no major issues, cwm3 and bonsai 2.01 with frozen emotionless beast theme running great. The theme is growing on me more and more but I'm not so keen on the font, I think I remember a font changing mod awhile ago anyone know of one that is compatible with bonsai 2.01?

Thanks thought I was going crazy.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I'm not sure what "mod" you mean. Fonts are stored in /system/fonts. If you rename any ttf font to the same name as the system fonts and overwrite the fonts that are in /system/fonts, you can change to any font.

How i can disable Hardware acceleration? Delete the file "local.prop"?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
no dont delete lol

just debug.sf.hw=0 i think ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] robotics2002:
Thx i will try it ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] yanuk:
what are the benefits of disabling hardware acceleration?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] HK-47:
Apparently, disabling HWA improves battery life. I haven't actually tried disabling it though. My battery lasts a couple of days with HWA enabled, so I just keep it on.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zero7525:
from what i have experienced, enabling HW accel slows down linpack, therefore giving lower scores (9 with JIT only, 8 with JIT and HW accel)

should I still enable it anyways?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
linpack score will be low but snappier and faster while using phone

[Galaxy Tab General] le3ky:
Take a look at this http://www.pcworld.com/zoom?id=204779&page=1&zoomIdx=1

Better at computing? Wonderful ios? faster processor? better display?

Same as the iPad then :p

Using swype on the tab is much quicker than the tapping on the iPad too!
[Galaxy Tab General] conan1600:
Dude you need to check your stats. Stock galaxy is the same on many stats and performs better on several. Right outta the box it blows ipad away in just the ability to access half the internet that apple products dont allow. Then theres the fact that if you can follow directions well then the lil ol galaxy just drives the last nail in ipads coffin with roms.

But like I said, right outta the box it destroys ipad. And yea I have owned both. And just about every other electronic gadget to come down the pike since comadore ruled the market.

And as far as apple being built to replace a lappy. Dude if thats what they were shooting for then they failed miserably. Tab or pad cant touch a laptop atm. I hope that soon that will change but yea atm no flippin way. So if you think the ipad can I just have to wonder wth your doin on the net. Surely your not playing any games as the pad sure cant handle squat in that department. Must not be doing anything that requores hard proccessing power cause it sure isnt up to snuff there. Decoding, burning, oh my list goes on and on. Pad or tab arnt in the league of a laptop. So where you got that notion baffles me

So as far as I or most any thinking person who isnt deluded by mass marketing media is concerned the conversation is ended on that subject. Ipad got owned. Perhaps if apple would open up a bit and allow flash content as well then they would have a chance. As it stands now they dont stack up at all.
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
Opps- My bad- I thought I remembered the iPad had a faster processor. The screen resolution is a little more on the iPad. And the battery life is greater on the iPad.

Perhaps you misunderstood that I meant this as sarcasm.

But I think both of you missed the point I was trying to make. That is that given all the stats you want to call forth, to compare the iPad and the Tab is like comparing a Lamborghini and a Rolls Royce.

There is no comparison because they are different products, aimed at different groups, and with fundamentally different purposes for existing.

Personally, I would never purchase an iPad because I already have my portable computers called laptops and netbooks. And after Mr. Jobs reaction to the antennae problem, I would never again buy any Apple product.

To make my point as clear as possible I don't think we should be comparing the two units because they are different products. The iPad was built to replace laptops and the Tab is an expansion of the mobility afforded by the smartphone into something far more usable.

It is unfortunate that the term "tablet" is a hot catch phrase right now as these two products are being lumped together, when, IMHO, they are not the same.
[Galaxy Tab General] yentlequible:
The ipad doesn't even have USB ports... that alone puts it below a laptop. Also, lack of flash, physical keyboard, and the fact that is it apple.

I say that tabs win easily. Yeah, they don't have a keyboard, but swype is fast and you can actually customize things how you want with android.
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
The screen resolution is higher on the ipad as it has a 10inch screen, but the pixel density is greater on the galaxy tab, and its only bigger by 148px. The only thing that is better is that its a IPS display.

Battery life isnt better either, my tab lasted a whole day of video recording and games at a festival on half back light.

ipads are gay tbh.
[Galaxy Tab General] gordesky1:
My galaxy tab pretty much replaced my laptop and netbook for on the go use:)

Mainly because the battery life is way better on the tab and its smaller and more uses like using it as a mp3 player ya i use it as a mp3 player which i have big pockets that fits the tab perfect and i also use Pandora with 3g:)

I was thinking of getting a ipad before i knew about the tab but than saw the tab and figure the 7in screen is more portable and yep it was, The ipad would be a bit to big because at work i mess with one for a bit and it did feel nice and all but it was heavier and more awkward and i preferred my tab over it.

Plus i got a really good deal for mine from hsn:) Should be around 320 so so when i get the 300$ back from sprint And payed with flex pay.
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
I got to thinking about this when I saw two high school boys at McDonalds. One had the iPad and the other had the Tab.

Both were busy doing what ever they were doing, but the iPad was laying on the table, taking up most of the room. The boy using it was bent over it and typying with both hands. All of his attention was focused on the screen, and being bent over was not comfortable for long, I'm sure.

The Tab boy was sitting back in his chair, holding the Tab with one hand. The other hand was busy touching the screen, holding his drink, eating his fries, etc. He would look away from the screen as people moved around him, yet he was paying attention to whatever he was doing.

The Tab boy was still interacting with the world around him, while the iPad boy was falling into the screen, literally.

I still say that they are two entirely different devices and should not be compared so closely.

But I agree, that in the long run the 7" form factor will win out over the larger bulkier unit. Unless you just want a cool looking laptop.
[Galaxy Tab General] le3ky:
As natious said, greater resolution, but lower pixel density means the tab has a better screen, at least in the way that it is less fuzzy!

I think you've fallen into believing anything Apple is the best on the market in every spec! Not true, but lots of people automatically think that way...

Gotta hand it to their marketing dept.
[Galaxy Tab General] grainysand:
iPad boy really ought to have invested in a case with kickstand, huh? Also lol high school boys. Children these days sure are spoiled.
[Galaxy Tab General] CASz:
Looking at the Zoom ads I notice they are all landscape, and the iPad is often shown that way. I only use my Tab in landscape if the app demands it - NFS or Slingbox. Do others think that is part of the portability thing?
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
Tablets do replace laptops. You just need to focus on the right market, that is the people that need a computer to watch movies, pictures, listen to music, surf the web, email and do a little of word processing. Surprise surprise, that's their target demographic.

But now i laugh a bit, the tab out of the box better than any iDevice for web browsing! Ah! Maybe you meant "random not Samsung Android device" because out of the box the Tab is AWFUL for browsing duty. And with awful i mean slower than an iPhone 3g, roughly surfing at half the speed of a technically inferior SonyEriccson Xperia X10 Mini. That is without the flash on, otherwise it's just masochism. Then you disable the "panoramic" option, start to zoom out to see the whole page, and there it gets his speed back. Or you just download another WebKit browser (not out of the box anymore) and deal with the incredible tendency to crash of the tab's WebKit build (stay away from animated gifs!). Then you download Opera Mobile, lose the flash, gain a working browser.

You lose only half the web with an iDevice? I think that flash ads are more than half the web! But i have to admit it is nice to have it, just download a flash game and play it with a flash player. Can't do that on the Apple side.

The Tab has roughly the same cpu as the latest generation of iDevices. A better video chip. An IMPRESSIVE video decoder that shows with no trouble 1080p h264 videos at 50mbps while iDevices are limited at 720p (unless i got my facts wrong). Back and front camera, that don't record in 720p as opposed to the iPhone4 and relative iPod touch. Still, the iPad has none. Nor it has phone capability.

To sum it up: out of the box the Tab gets beaten on the web, email (Samsung app is really a disaster, slow and memory hogging), picture viewer, os side. Then a new browser and the gmail app "fix" those issues. The gallery app would be fixed using the Android one and not the flashy Samsung attempt. The os... With time, if Samsung dosen't drop the support in just a few months as opposed to the almost 4 years of an iDevice? Or with a custom rom.

I say that an unlikely 7" iPad with similar hardware to the Tab would be the best choice.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheChampJT:
I debated on getting the ipad orig, but my main purpose of getting it was for school and overall netbook activities. Ipad is way too limited in options compared to a netbook, the only downside I saw between the ipad and tab was the screen size, ill take the 7" screen with even 10% of the extra options over the ipad anytime
[Galaxy Tab General] grainysand:
Absolutely. It's what worries me about Honeycomb--so far, no portrait mode shown at all. What the hell? Using a tablet in landscape constantly is so very awkward without a keyboard dock or kickstand. I mean, balancing that thing on your lap is no fun.
[Galaxy Tab General] SeanBlader:
I'm with Sam, the Tab is carryable, I never see people with iPads carrying them around and then it seems like it's an effort for my co-workers to have them out in meetings, again though they use them hunched over a table, and never actually holding them. Even with a stand that holds it up, they only ever have it standing up at like 10 to 15 degrees off the table or desk.

On top of which, my notebook with a 13 inch screen and 0.75 inch thickness was a portable without the power of a desktop replacement for playing games. In fact the Tab actually performs better at games than my notebook used to. When I really want to play a game, I'll play on my desktop system, with a kilowatt power supply and a 30 inch screen. Since I have a bluetooth Keyboard and headphones, the only thing I find I can't do on the Tab as well as on my Notebook is VPN, and connect to a projector at the office. And as was stated above, the Tab beats the pants off my notebook on battery life.
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
I hadn't thought about that, but you are right. There were ads here on TV for the iPad. All were showing the landscape mode. In the Motorola Xoom ads all I have seen is landscape.

But the Tab is almost always seen in portrait. The exceptions in the ads are when it is doing the navigation things, cameras, games and the sky maps. They even use portrait mode when doing the walk around the city and the overlay shows you shops and stuff around you.

Just more proof that they are conceptually different products.

Your car has more computing power than my first computer, a Vic20. But I would not call the car a computer or compare it with one. Different designs and different uses.

You can't boot it into download mode by holding the 1 and power button at the same time?
[Epic 4G General] fsc137:
Take the battery out, put it back in after 1 minute.

Then make sure the battery is charged.

Turn it on by holding down the "1" key and power button.

If that doesn't work, it's probably bricked.
[Epic 4G General] drago009:
No, is really dead.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I doubt it is bricked. Charge up and enter dl mode. Odin should complete in less than 5 minutes. If it doesn't pass then reboot both your pc and phone before trying again. Also make sure you have the samsung drivers. If you are in windows 64 bit find a 32 bit machine.

I bought the nook for my daughter, during initial setup I rooted it from 1.0 to 1.01 and used my gmail to setup it up. Now she wants her gmail so I unsubscribed the device which wiped the owner info and did the 8 times reboot (unroot?) thingy and it boots using the "normal" boot screen but in extras there are still the root tools.

When I try to go to market and use either my or her gmail I get a message "problem with connecdtion" or something like that but it will sign into the BN account I setup for her.

So how can I fix this?

This is perhaps just your network issue, pal. I've done this root-restore job 15+ times in the past 2 weeks and never had such a problem when I did the software/hardware reset.
