Just wondering if its just my tab or just the tab in general, this thing is always freezing n just runs like its a frigin g1, slow! I have the sprint version, anyone else have the same probs?

sory to tell dude it's your tab, i gave up my ihone4 & ipad for my tab. it's one of the best devise i ever had, maybe omething is wrong with your tab take it back get an other one.
Got a Tab last night, and even after flashing to the latest ROM it is rather unreliable in terms of performance and lag. I've already experienced several complete lock ups which is more than my Desire has had in 6 months.
So I will be returning mine for a refund tomorrow. Think I'll wait for the v2 with 2.3 or Honeycomb.
Got mine loaded to the gills, and it zips along just fine, not a single lockup.
So there's no way to fix this? I can't take it back cause it wasn't brought new, I did a reset n started all over with it tho but I have these probs... I'm guess the stupid sprint activation thing has somethin to do with it but I can't get rid of it untill I root my device... there's gotta be a reason this thing is messed up?!

I sat in a sprint store playing with their tab for about an hour. I was blown away with the speed of it. If you are not finding the Tab peppy I would look into bringing it back.
I would also say that the sprint tab i was using was a much better experience than the ATT one I bought. I kept saying to myself something is not right here. Then I flashed it and all is good.
Mine was suffering from bad browser lag until I flashed it. I don't have a Sprint Tab though. Mine is T-Mobile. I'm running Roto-JMC. It's very smooth now!!!!
Hmm
i just watced a lagg fixed galaxy s phone on youtube run super super fast.
he said it was about 2700 quadrant score ( iknow its not a good method) i dont even get half of that and my tab is so much slower.
I am keeping it though i really cant see this not getting to the galaxy s smoothness level sometime within the next months, whats your thoughts? will it get as smooth, i mean why would it not? i cant even use flash in any of the browsers except youtube mobile, and i the old desire running hd flash!
it should be able to be soo much smoother with future firmware updates or hacks?
btw. Kindle app on this is like the best e reader ever! if u dont mind only 10 hour batterylife.
I have the Sprint version full stock, and I have no freezing or lagging.
Just a long shot here, but on my Evo I was having some lock-ups out of the blue, and when I finally connected it to my PC via USB, it told me that the SD card had errors. Ran scandisk, fixed the errors, and then everything was back to normal.
i have verizon version and its blazing FAST! however it did reboot a couple of times on me but i am sure its an app i have downloaded not the tab

My Tab runs fantastic. I also have a lag fixed SGS. A lag fix switches from Samsung's proprietary file system to an ext4 file system and therefore will not help general performance, it will namely help loading apps for the first time and saving. After that, you will not be able to see an improvement. This is also why lag fix methods increase the quadrant score.
If you are seeing ANY speed issues with the Tab, you should return it. If you bought it used, you should have got some kind of guarantee... they probably sold it because it was running slowly.
You guys really have to look at the software youre running on your tabs. Mine is running flawlessly and has been almost from day one.
Start by removing bloatware and unnecessary services. Flash to the latest supported firmware using Kies. Use firefox and Dolphin mini as your browsers. Turn on airplane mode + wifi to save battery. Look into a replacement launcher like adw ex or launcherpro. Get no lock to remove the lockscreen. Etc.
Android is all about user imput - if you dont customise it you will never feel its benefits over an ipad!
It's a good idea to try different task managers like the one in ASTRO i.e. and try to catch the faulty one. I found some issues in using the yahoo mail client.
Mean the faulty process that uses much processor time, in above post.
Hmm it is not like i havent done all of the above it is still not as smooth as a galaxy s phone. I really think there is some firmware difference since all danish tabs i have tryed run like this. Tryed 4 my own encluding. In Denmark people are selling tabs allover the place since many regular customers are disappointed. Got mine half price so i am still quiet content but it does lagg and with newest official firmware jj3 via kies. Flash in any browser except youtube mobile is not usable

My Tab is faster than my Galaxy S, has been from day one. My Galaxy S isn't slow, it's running a very fast Froyo rom. My Galaxy S phone is the fastest phone I've ever seen, but it's still not as fast as my Tab.
I haven't rooted my Tab or uninstalled any bloatware or disabled any services. If the Tab were laggy, I would have done all of those things. I haven't because I don't like to mess with what works.
My guess would be that your carrier has something installed that is slowing it down. I can't imagine what, I have tons installed and nothing has ever slowed it down.
That said, Don't use the stock browser, it can be laggy, especially on Flash heavy sites. Try the Miren browser and set Flash to "on demand".
Weird how some people have problems and some dont, I have the Epic also and it flys! But this damn tab is horrible and I too experience the browser lag, restarts, freezing, u name it! I saw that someone did mention they had alot of problems till they rooted and flashed it so if you could be so kindly to share info on what exactly you did it would be appreciated, especially cause others that have flashed didnt have the same outcome... If it dont work for me then its goin on ebay cus as of now this thing is just a paperweight...
T mobile flashed with a phone running fine .only some glithes from the wifi .only because my router is a bit far from me but otherwith running fine
i have instaled many app and many widget and its ok so far its only hungree for battery power
fine gadget and phone is defenetly a big plus

My Tab flies with no freezing... Rooted with z4 and use oclf. If i get lag in the Dolphin browser I try this trick I discovered on xda: Hold the power button to get the power off menu, then press the back button to exit that menu. Thats it. Browser will increase in speed and fluidity!

There is a deadspace game for android available online somewhere..you need froyo and chainfire with the qualcomm driver for it to work...it doesn't work on gingerbread roms btw...I had to revert back to froyo but the game is awesome.
update..after playing it for the past 2 days, the is the best android high quality game i have ever played..u can change customs, upgrade your weapons and every single aspect of the character...i have tried every gameloft game except for the w.o.w clone and i can't tell it has a better story and gameplay than all the gameloft games currently available for android..it almost feels like the console version and i suggest everyone tries it...9/10 so far but some of the controls are iffy
Isn't it a game loft game?

it only works for sgs models on froyo and also doesn't work on galaxy nexus (read it in a forum somewhere)..but some samsung phones that can run the game in gingerbread are galaxy ace, gio, mini and the droid charge apparently (can't confirm this phone). I think it has to do the way samsung gingerbread update messed with the gpu (assumption) plus the game was originally made for xperia play...i have tried all chainfire settings and i can't get it to work on my epic on gb and cm7 (it freezes the phone) but works fine in froyo..

I also tried running it using Chainfire3D, didn't work. It loads up about 2 seconds of the intro and just closes. For the time being, I'm enjoying GB more than Froyo so I won't be going back, although I wanted to play this pretty bad :\ sad days...
I got it running on my Iconia Tab tho using Chainfire 3D. The only problem is that it only runs in portrait mode, not landscape. So I'm cut off short from both sides of the gameplay. Turning into corners is a pain since I'm half blind and I can't see anything besides me unless its literally like beside me already :\ its playable, but kind of annoying.

Posted a thread about this -- apologies for not finding this one first.
I'm severely bummed, because I love this game, and am only about 1/3 of the way through it. I loathe the idea of having the flash back to Froyo to play it, and am not going to... YET.
I mentioned in my other thread, though, that Shadowgun DOES work on the E4G with GB and Chainfire3D+NVIDIA plug-in. While the game does need the horsepower of the Galaxy S II, it plays well on the E4G, with just a little stuttering here and there as the graphics H/W can't keep up. Hasn't interfered with gameplay at all, though, and it's an AWESOME game!!
EDIT: Haven't tried it with an OC kernels yet. Just flashed Samurai 3.01++, with a turbocharge GPU clock, and support for CPU OC. I'll crank it up and give Shadowgun a try, report back here later.

This unfortunately does not work on my my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate running 2.3.5 and no way am i going back to froyo! Although i do miss playing it. It crashes at the EA logo and just sends me back to my home screen.
I used it on my TW based EI22 Epic rom. Coupled with chainfire it worked fine on gingerbread. Runs perfect with no additional mods on cm7 now.

I downloaded DeadSpace from SamsungApps for free & it works great on CleanGB MTD.
Just to give feedback, Deadspace runs great on EI22 (CleanGB) and Cyanogen 7 RC0 through nightly 16, to include using Samurai kernel with overclocked GPU. I got mine from the Android Market, I think it was on sale. Great game to show off the Epic's performance and black levels.
Is it going to be worth installing ICS on Galaxy Tab??? give the hardware differences from lets say the Galaxy Tab plus, what possiable benifits would there be from Froyo original, Gingerbread ROM's, Honeycomb ROM's prior versions to the new ICS Ice Cream Sandwich BETA developement, I know what ICS brings to the table, but given having to deal with hardware limitation of original Galaxy Tab, what would be the biggest reason to have ICS on the GT other than just to have it? What apps or user needs could compel someone going thru this task to warrant the work involved?? What categories would be the most beneficial for example Graphics/Photo or File-Management or....
Any insight for people looking in to this project?
I've been running the alphas and betas on my galaxy s for like a week now, and I can't wait for it to run on my tab. I need WiFi and 3g on my tab, otherwise I'd be giving it a go already.
The benefits, well it's fun to play! I think it runs better than anything I've tried on my phone, and think it'll be great on this.
Tmob Galaxy Tab 7
Hi there,
i got alpha2 of the ICS build running on my tmob tab. Works great tbh cept for no wifi and no edge data yet but Angel_666 says he's got data running now and wifi soon.
Someone put up bc4329.ko wifi driver supposedly compiled for our tab and ics and i tried to adb push it to the tab and then insmod it in but got
~ # insmod /data/bcm4329.ko
insmod /data/bcm4329.ko
insmod: can't insert '/data/bcm4329.ko': invalid module format
so hopefully they've fixed that
Also i couldnt seem to successfully edit build.prop within the zip file. every time i did the zip would not install.
finally gave up and just adb pulled the build.prop down off the tab, edited it, pushed it back and rebooted
ICS looks great in the 160dpi mode. Hope the wifi drivers are up sometime this week.
Battery life seems ok so far...will keep more track.
thanks
meh
Good question
One we need to hear more about!
It's worth it...I got alpha 2 on my t-mobile..as soon as WiFi is up...it will be better...battery life is great I got 4 days and 6 hours before my tablet died

Alpha 4
Well Alpha 4 was up last night and i snagged it and applied the root and wifi fixes and everything seems to be working. The terminal app they had included did not work and crashed whenever i tried to "install" it from the market. Also superuser shows up under not install in the my apps section. edit: now it seems the thread doesnt have alpha 4 listed?? wth
Otherwise wifi is working fine.
I cant seem to find adobe flash player in the market now either just AIR...is there no flash for ICS?
if you are running the build and seem to be stuck in portrait mode and want to switch to landscape, open the camera app and it will switch to landscape then hit home again and bingo - stuck in landscape mode now.
Hello,
It is not ready for daily operations, but looks very promising.
For now it is wise to stick with alpha3 with patches and do some testing.
I took a look at the thread over the development section. i'll give it a try here in a bit I think, just to test it out. if the bugs and kinks can get worked out, such as the camera, then I think it will pretty cool. that's just my $0.02 though.
My experiences with ICS on VZW tab.
Graphic Acceleration not working or not smooth (UI, Browser) but good enough to play Sudoku or Angry Birds without lag.
WiFi slow on establishing connection but fine after connection.
Orientation not working correctly.
Some font and UI resizing issues, some launcher features missing, miscellaneous minor issues.
[And I think GPS is not working, but I do not use the tab GPS anyway]
[Camera is not working, but no big issue for me]
Other than that, the AOSP build is working wonderfully. I can play music, video in portrait, read email and sync with MS exchange (I think that's all I do). And of course, get a sneak peek at the new Android OS and the SDK!

The ICS issue aren't due to the hardware not being able to do ICS stuff but more so lack of binary files needed to support said hardware. Given that the Nexus S OTA is out now we should start to see some progress. Don't ever expect a 100% working rom though.

ICS is great, the UI is much better, and it´s optimized for Tablets
It is definitely worth to install ICS on galaxy tab as it is design for tablet, been using it for days and find that the alpha build is quite stable except for some minor bugs but it is still usable.
It is still in Alpha stage but the rom will get better in the next release

Definitely worth it, if only to have a Tablet-oriented OS on the Tablet. Using ICS on the Galaxy Tab is such a hugely pleasurable experience. My wife has an iPhone but loves ICS. So much so that she's getting my 2nd Galaxy Tab when I've finished playing with ICS on it (i.e. when we get a version that's good enough as a Daily Driver) and we'll fund another data SIM for it.

Ok so for those that have been able to upgrade to ICS (P6800 owners) what are your toughts?
Now this is what i am looking for:
A) What you like
B) Don't like
C) What would you like to have seen included but wasn't (if anything)
And since having the update what are you looking forward to doing that you couldn't or wouldn't with HC.
Please don't post any issues you have after updating, that is not what this post is intended for.

Well i don't think that i don't like anything but i haven't really found something that is faulty. It is definitely faster as i immediately noticed that it took less ram, than honey comb, to run. Feels pretty fast with go launcher HD to me and i love it completely. Although i thought that there would be camera improvements as tab 2 7.0 has the same 3 mega pixel camera but does 1080p recording. So i thought that it might be done with tab 7.7 as well with an ics upgrade.

Well I love it to and made it up with Samsung:
- first with ICS that tablet really rocks it already did but now it's almost perfect
- smoother faster it seems especially the OOM killer seems more smart, and less memory used it seems
- no more problem with Itap rdp right click with bt mouse
- something I never mentioned. : I developed or try to develop a clone of pronto remote and debug using adb wireless
With HC I could not connect via adb on the computer using ethernet to adb wireless wifi due to packet loss... So had to disable ethernet and enable wifi. With ics no longer this issue...
- I used to have frequent sleep of death for the moment none
- I listen radio everyday through tunein somehow at around 1pm HC always rebooted by itself. Never bothered to figure out why... Now this no longer happen...
- no wifi issue ( some ICS user reported problems). I never had neither with HC except sleep of death or reboot that might be related to wifi?. I use Friztbox 7340 AP.
- my 100+ aps. Seems to all works (of course did not test deeply since yesterday) except gmd gesture control to hide the control bar
-once in a while but quite frequently using HC my EXCHANGE account would vanish...had to re-create every time... waiting to see on this one...Could be my remote application leaking....
So all in all very very happy with this tab and Samsung... Patience was what I missed
- I did wipe and did not have any problem if we refer to brick bug... But you never know...
What I like less
- dialog box theme gray without frame around
- it seems Samy addressed bur-in doing the bar black now....
I preferred it before and I don't have noticeable burn-in ( since march and extensive uses) except using color filter and brightness turned all down then I see slight yellow discoloration... Nothing to complain for me as the TAB HW screen etc are just so great IMO and outweight for me this small detail.
Seriously the TAB rocks for me...
Can you imagine 7.7 with quad core and dream about a 1080p SAMOLED display in a 7'7 TAB for me the perfect size!
I guess I continue buying Samsung.... Despite some of my previous comments... Waiting for the ICS on 8.9 now for my girl friend
Thanks and cheers

My first impression
i installed the firmware through odin. it was not available on kies. so if i have to claim warranty ( god forbid ) then i guess i have to flash my country's HC firmware back
what i liked is that it is noticibly faster than HC. Apps load faster. lag is less. starting button lag is less. there have been no FC's and almost all of my games are compatible.
what i dislike or rather disappointed is that it does not look or feel much different than HC. no added functionality except Face unlock. what i would have liked is some features of S3.
i am running this for almost 24 hrs now. battery usage is same as HC.
I like that this device is actually usable now. I think I'm going to use it as my main tablet now. I didn't use it with HC because it was just so slow compared to my gt8.9 (running ICS rom).
My first impression: TouchWiz seems much smoother, Go Launcher HD feels the same. Under heavy usage of widgets TouchWiz is still great but Go Launcher HD not. I do love some Go Launcher features so I played around a lot and also tested the new 1.11 beta. But is still less responsive.
It's like a faulty motherboard replaced by a newer and faster one.
Seriously, like a new device, snappy, responsive, seems less battery hungry.
There is one 'custom rom" available, where EDaN has deodexed and removed some bloatware. I took that rom and took out everything social,photo and video editor, and some other minor crap.
Having 60 apps installed and tested it's like Christmas.
- dislike
had to discover I must install busybox to get Titanium working
had to install supersu myself, no biggy
no software based CWM, havent found compatible one, but one thats reboots to recovery anyway.
No powermenu at powerbutton
ugly blueish tint around quickmenu (with shortcuts for bt.wifi etc)
This all will be fixed when chefs get source or get impatient and offer CWM zips
Chainfire3d night mode seems to be not working...

my only gripe so far is that if you increase the font size to Large, some apps (mostly system apps) seem to have the font go to 'super large' e.g. google play, settings menu, whilst some apps its perfect.
Conversely, going down to medium, most apps are back to Honeycomb tiny font problem, whilst the system apps are fine
Seems like Sammy tweaked the touchwiz stock UI to display fine on medium size, without thinking that 'hey most apps the user will be using needs it set to large hmmmm'. Hoping AOSP ROMs will get around this issue
The tab is more responsive overall. Feels like a new device. But still not loving touchwiz--wish this is a pure Google device. Installing Nova Launcher partially fixes that. Only app not working out well so far is Battery Monitor Widget Pro--the mA usage keeps showing "0". Just about everything else survived the upgrade with no issues.
Add: mA information in Battery monitor widget works is set to "estimation" rather than automatic. So that problem is solved...
I never used tw always adw launcher ex on this device, everything is smoother with ics now we just need some custom roms and kernels so it can catch up to my galaxy note and asus prime

It only seems to work with the Samsung keyboard. I thought that was also the case in 3.2?
I'm truly loving this tab with ICS. One huge problem is with my WiFi. I experienced once again as it just disconnected and never connected again until I shut it down completely and turned it back on. Logged onto another AP. I hate this problem as I thought I had fixed it. It seems like the WiFi module is overheated and shutdown or something....*SIGH*
when browsing, going back to the previous tabs is still being reloaded. That is my only gripe so far.
Other than that, everything is smoothhhhhh...

Impressions.
It's good stuff!
First: Hotmail seems to be staying put. Had big bothers with this as account would dissapear from tab. Seems to be fixed now, but need more time.
Second: SD Card behaving. Sweet.
Third: No waiting around for unlock screen to pop up when power button pressed. WTF was that anyway?
Fourth: Swype behaving itself. Kept on getting beeps before, and i would have to change to Samkey and back to swype. One crash so far in google translate.
Fifth: Browser no longer reloading all the time to homepage. seems more stable.
Sixth: Youtube actually responds when choosing a vid. If you hit back before and chose another, it was no longer responsive.
Seventh: AR much more responsive. 1sec response time. instead of 3-4. Overall response time much boosted. Has crossed the line from WTF? to hey... Sweet!
0'ed: Sammy did our super bloody expensive tab first. THANK YOU!
PS: flashed XL4 (United Arab Emirates) with Austrian version.(ODIN 1.85) Not a problem. Did Full Reset before flashing though. All went smooth. Im a very happy camper! Hope i could help.
Hi friends, this is my first thread in this forum and i'm a complete noob in android.
i got my note 2 on 7 dec and it has been running nicely but i got a problem from some 1 to 2 days ago, i have some games in my phone and have been playing since i got the phone but now there's a problem, when i play each game it gets stuck for few milliseconds then running with more than normal speed and this process is going on continuously(i.e. stopping for some ms and running with more than normal speed again and again, so we can say in general that the games are running with more than normal speed)
Please help me on this one and provide some solution, thanks in advance
[extra details: i tried uninstalling some games when i thought it might be their problem, but it didn't fix the problem.]
(i can add a video if you want)
Stock rom or custom. .. kernel? ... what games is this happening on. ..etc are the details that are needed

the rom i have is the one i got originally with my phone(android 4.1.1), i haven't updated it, kernel version is 3.0.31, and this is happening on all of the games.
Power saver mode on?... switch it off if you want to play graphics intense games. ....
Else try factory reset

Add a video. Looks placebo to me to be honest. A video will be helpful

nope power saver mode is not on, tried switching off but even small games were not working normally, i'll try factory reset when there's no option available(i've downloaded more than 2gb in there so i think it'd take time to download that again on a 2g connection lol), anyway thanks for your help but please do try to think of any other option thats left

I think I might be having this same problem, though not with the same gravity as you do. For instance, sometimes while playing something like Temple Run, the game will get stuck for a few milliseconds and then as soon as it starts again the game would run on super speed for a few milliseconds, thus essentially resulting in the death of my character as I wouldn't be able to control it. It's almost as if the system is compensating for being sruck fir those few milli seconds. But this happens once in maybe 10 games, and I haven't yet seen it in any other game. This never used to happen when I was playing the same game on any other android devices I had. Maybe it's a bug in some note 2 decices, or maybe a bug in the game itself?

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.
can this be because of some app i installed?
and @SacGuru in my phone it is happening the same but really fast and continuously so you know there's continuity but because of constantly getting stuck it does not make the game look good and also this happening all of the games, and when i tried uninstalling and installing again it didnt solve my problem but what it did was delete all my savegames
oh hey guys i just figured out the problem, sorry for your time lol, it was an app which used to start power saving mode on its own i turned it off a few times and then i got suspicious and found the app and changed its settings and now everything is working fine
BTW thanks for your help
I told you so ...lol. ....anyways good to be of help
