Wifi issue??? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 General

I want to buy this tab but i read somewhere that it has a wifi issue..
What is that??can any one tel me pls

Wifi issue: Lost connection..etc
Afaik, look like this is generic ICS issue.
It happen to other device like S2, S3, SGN...etc

Ok..
But what about other things??do you thing tablet is worth buying otherwise..??

And is this wifi issue solved in cm9/cm10??

Worth buying?..depend on your need and budget.
What I can say for 7inch family...
This the best if you take a look at the spec.

I havent had a single wifi issue on cm9 for 5 days now and stock ICS was always unpredictable. There are still problems with cm10's wifi though. Otherwise its a great tab.

Wifi is good, no problem for me

wifi has always been rock solid for my tab 7.7. with the stock honeycomb, then i flashed two stock ICS roms since. none of the issue i have had have been with wifi.

Cyanogenmod 9
AOKP is pretty gnarls. Google and/or Youtube 'making phone calls with Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1' and that'll point you in the right direction.

Done that but you mainly get pointed to the 7" tab or things like skype or viber
No ICS roms to date have camera functionality for our tabs. If you can live without the camera, cm9 and aokp are both very nice roms to work with. I switch between those and task14 quite frequently.

Isn't aokp for the p7510 version as I heard it as problems with the 3g on the p7500 tabs
I'm using AOKP on my P7500R right now and it works like a charm . I've been using it on 3G quite a bit also, with no issues I might add.
Can you link m to the right one just to make sure am looking at the right one
I like AOKP the best, but it is totally a preference thing. Try it and CM9, they don't cost anything. I find it helps me to discover what is out there and it helps me get more out of my tab.

First Rom is available for the 10.1 (GT-5113)

You can check it out in the development board for the 10.1 here:

[Q] modelnumber changed. Problem?
Works also fine on a P5110.
Only the modelnumber info changed on my Tab from P5110 to P5113. Could that cause any kind of problems?
Since i'm a newbie on tablets, i don't know if there are any model related apps or so that could cause troubles.
Grtz,
John
This condition is common on android phones especially the first Galaxy series ,some of the early roms available for phones like the Epic 4g and Epic touch where derived from European leaked roms early in the development stages, I guess that it was because Samsung had not released official firmware, this would cause a model number change at boot up but I never noticed any kind of ill affect or problems with apps running properly.

As long as it is working I can't see it causing you any problems. I have actually received a few messages from people who have the P5110 and have not seen any issues.
no probs!

i'v bought my tab2 10.1 in the Netherlands, its a GT-P5110.
i Flashed the rom on the tab, so it registers as a GT-P5113.
everything runs great, one 1 thing that i encounter,
i have 2 WiFi router in my house, one in the loft. the 1st one was set on channel 5, and the 2end on channel 13.
after i booted my tab a scanned for WiFi access point i only saw the one transmitting on channel 5, after setting the 2end router to channel 7 i worked like a charm.
-- edit --
I discoverd that you get 48Gb extra free space on Dropbox if you login on Dropbox with this ROM
Hello,

i am glad this rom exists! i hate all those extra apks samsung installs that come preloaded and cannot be removed. freezing apps annoys me too, i should just be able to uninstall anything i don't want. this is rom removes a lot of them for me.

I'm waiting for more ROMS to be released. I hope there will be some DEVs who would make a sick ROM. Anyone have Infected ROM flashed on there GT-P5113?

Jellybean for Tab 7.7 ?

Galaxy Tab 7 2 already got their JB leaked.
Is Tab 7.7 going to have JB coming for us?
or ICS is the last update we going to have?

We can continue to stay hopping for Samsung supporting it with JB or start to enjoy it with CM10 port now...

There are lot of problems with CM10 that will probably never be fixed,
the GPS not working does it for me.

Exactly - still no sign of ICS for my UAE version GT-6800 yet, either OTA or KIES. Not holding my breath for Jellybean and debating whether or not to flash my device myself using ODIN and a d/led Austrian ROM.

I use JB on my SGS3, not much difference from ICS
Still I would like to have JB on my tab, so I flashed a CM10 based ROM, if on one hand it was easier to have status bar on top, like the phone, I didnt like the large soft buttons, they use too much screen space
So I stay in ICS until there is a Samsung leak

Does JB force the 'desktop' to be portrait mode, or is that only a Nexus 7 'thing'?
I usually use my Tab in portrait anyway (it seems more natural with the ~7" form factor) but I'd prefer to have the desktop orient to whichever way I happened to be holding the tablet when I exit an application.

i second this, CM10 very buggy and not worth the hassle just to get a taste of JB, i have Google Now running on ICS so it will do for now.

I use mostly the browser, so landscape mode, JB goes into landscape mode, but the bottom soft buttons take almost an inch
I got used very quickly to the ICS TAB buttons and status bar, actually prefer them to the phone layout :good:

If you change your DPI to 160 (the original value for the 7.7), CM10 goes back to Tablet mode (the default is 213 DPI, whih gives you the "phablet" mode introduced by the Nexus 7). I'm using it in this configuration for a long time now.
--------
[RANT]I don't understand people who use a forum called xda DEVELOPERS and have an anti-development attitude. "This has lots of bugs and will never work", "they will never fix it", "Samsung knows it best", etc. We have a single developer for CM9 and CM10, who has bricked his own device irrecoverably, then got a new one to keep developing. Will there be bugs? Of course. Just like Samsung's ICS has bugs. But the developers for CM actually do listen to users, and try to fix whatever issue you may have (which is more than I can say about Samsung, since they introduce new bugs, like our WiFi on ICS, or even add a bricking option to an unbrickable phone, like the Galaxy S2 from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4).
If you don't support the active development being made by our fine members, you may find other forums where you won't even see that option. And where your comments won't be offensive to people who are doing their best to make your device more usable.[/RANT]

I used CM on my SGS1 and SGS2 until we got ICS, wich is good enough not to need CM, any way, I dont think it is necessary to play with DPI and processor speed, never did it...
I've tried a handful of custom roms too. And I'd say KUDOS to all the Devs for their hardwork. But I'm still finding myself going back to stock ICS. Specially now that I've updated mine to the official ICS for my Tab's country/region.
With JB update, I'm still positive we'll be getting it.

The custom ROMs based on official releases have the advantage of eliminating bloatware, and the kernels of eliminating most debugging, I stay away of the ones that play with speed and density :good:

Don't bother to flash to any of ICS update as those are not reliable.
After flashing dozens of ROM,l have settled for stock honey Comb.
Wait for wifi bug to be fixed.

What wifi bug

Where's the Wi-Fi love!

This is mostly just me, after a whole 24 hours of being a Note 10.1 owner (woot, go me) being annoyed that its the 3G owners that have gotten all the update goodies!
Germany got theirs a month ago, UK got theirs today... but only the 8000 models.
In theory this would mean that the 8010/8013 models will get released in Germany first, and then in the UK a month after that...
I really really *really* hope that this is not the case though. For this would be... vexing.
Saying that, I'll probably end up rooting and putting the uk 8000 rom onto my tablet anyway, as I am an impatient soul. But it is the principle of the thing that counts!
I think the reason this whole thing bothered me is this poll I saw the other day - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871383
If the 3G model was the most popular, then prioritising that firmware would make sense. It seems as though the WiFi models are by far the most prolific though!
OR.... WiFi users are more likely to answer polls.
Keep wishing hard guys, maybe we will get an update soon. and then hopefully someone will finally do a non-8000 custom rom!!
I have just decided to enjoy what I have for now. 8010 update before Christmas at some time will be fine with me. I dumped an iPad and a transformer 101 for my note and one for my other half. We are pleased.
Being a software developer I know the importance of good testing and would rather wait than have to put up with junk. Just my tuppence worth.

Makes sense, I also came from an iPad (the original one) and upgraded to a Note. Is quite a difference!
I'm a happy new owner also & very eager to get buttery smoothness on this fantastic piece of kit! hope we not waiting too long
I had enough couldn't wait anymore flashed the German jellybean on my 8010 couldn't be happier. I couldn't stand the lag on ICS, jellybean so smoooothhh don't care much for the feature smoothness was the most important.

Yep the 8000 firmware, I don't notice any drawbacks. It's stable like ics, a lot smoother, battery life same as ics 3days 10.5hrs screen. The only thing is you gotta set govonor on-demand

i want some wifi love too :crying:

Only real noticeable drawback is that if you use a USB toggle to connect a wireless keyboard or mouse it will drop signal on the German OTA. Other than that and the OnDemand thing as mentioned earlier it works fine on the 8013.

So that's the 8000 firmware on a 8010 Note? I understood there were issues with the ROM looking for hardware that doesn't exist. Sorry for bringing this up again, I like my Note and don't want to stuff it up.

I'm using "Team Union Rom" 8000 on my 8010 wifi without any problems what's so ever. All you have to do is use SetCPU which comes with the Rom to scaling: on-demand and check set on boot. No os issues, no random reboot all fine.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I'm pretty peev'd about this too. Can't believe that a non-3G device is getting the updates last of all. Surely theres no modem nor carrier testing to worry about so it should have actually been the first to be released?
I REALLY want to use the features of 4.1.1 and am refusing to utilise my Note properly until I get the official update.
COMEONE SAMSUNG!! Pull yer finger out!

I dont want to be forced to ROOT my device though unfortunately (I have a SGS3 for all my custom ROM business lol)
Got apps that won't work if ROOT is enabled on my device, and as I intend to use this note 10.1 for work related stuff its going to be essential having a stock ROM........
What apps won't work on your SGS3 since root? I have yet to find anything whether it be on my note or my SGS3 that don't work...

DME for Enterprise (Work exchange emails) - That's because the administrator has set it to not allow ROOTED or Jailbroken devices. (I know its because I set it up lol!)
There is a work around but I care not to implement it as it still means turning a security feature off which is not worth it just for my sake!!.
Anyway - Anyone wanting to 'voice their concern' regarding no JB for 8010 users - please post on samsung page here:
http://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile
(Look for post Entitled: GALAXY Note 10.1 gets Premium Suite update. Packs enhanced multitasking, new S Pen-optimized features and Android Jelly Bean.)
Good for Enterprise won't work on rooted phones when the no root policy is in effect.

I'm also a new owner of this tablet(closing in on 3 weeks). I have a Galaxy Nexus, so I know what it feels like to get updates fast. It's a little troublesome waiting for Samsung to update this device. I told myself that I wouldn't complain since Google probably takes around the same amount of time putting together updates, but they have the luxury of seeming fast by putting them out first. What I don't understand is why Samsung is releasing the JB update for the the 3G version first. This may be due to my ignorance, if so please excuse it, but I thought it would be easier to update the WiFi version especially considering they're pretty much done the development of it.

[Q] Delayed Notifications in Nexus 4 - Really a 4.2.2 problem?

First of all, I'm sorry because I know this is a recurrent topic, but I have my Nexus 4 for less than a week and the only issue (a big one) is these delayed notifications.
I've asked in more than a place about it and everyone say it is a 4.2.2 problem.
My question is why this does not happen in my Galaxy S3 with Cyanogen 10.1 (ie, android 4.2.2)? Any ideas?
I'm also currently using Cyanogen 10.1 in my Nexus 4, but problem persists. I got it while using stock too.
PS: I have installed Push Notification Fixer and set interval to 5 minutes. Delay remains.
This is a known problem for the nexus 4.
My old galaxy s is also running 4.2.2 and does not have this problem.
The problem is at Googles side.
However, you could try to flash a kernel with the wifi notification fix.

I personally have not tried it yet.
Well, the S3 will have different WiFi drivers, for a start.
