Of coz...Overcome is not an official ROM from Samsung...btw, can u explain little bit about the problem ? Cannot connect means...
*
Oh, so means Overcome is not compatible with KIES. Cannot connect means, when I connect the USB, and when the prompt on my Tab pops up, I choose Samsung KIES but nothing happen. Mass Storage can connect though.

crappy software.. i just installed and upgrade my firmware once i got the tab 2 months back. then i never use it anymore. uninstalled.  biggrin.gif

Yes, I do agree with you that it is crappy but I guess there's the only way I can sync back my contacts from my Microsoft Outlook right? Tried to sync to my gmail and sync back to my Tab but lost some of the contacts. Any other option can suggest?

QUOTE(myzer0 @ Mar 11 2011, 03:33 PM)
if u googled around, u will prolly found out the reason u cant connect its because of USB debugging enabled
*
Nope, I already disabled it.

make sure you buy good quality one. i tried generic wall charger with usb & it won't charge. same goes with car charger. i already had 2 car chargers & one with stated current of 1A. it won't charge either. i bought RM60 car charger at low yat brand SUN-I which has a model for samsung tab & ipad. it has a non-detachable cable that connects to the tab as well as a usb slot. rated current is 2100mA (2.1A).

the tab needs > 1A current. hence if you buy a 2A one it should charge. a good quality 1A should also charge probably because the actual output is higher than 1A. a poor quality 1A charger might give less than 1A output & not enough to charge. this applies both wall & car charger.
*
Bro, for the compatible 2A charger that you have, does it shows "USB Connected" when you charge? Or it just shows charging like the original one??

Hi guys, i need help.

Im on Digi data plan for my TAB, but it seems i can only receive emails. Can't browse the web.

However when on wifi, the browsing is fine. A friend told me it is a 'dns' problem.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Ouch, you have just joined me as a victim that is tied to Digi. I also signed up the contract and got the Tab from digi. Their 3G network is not fully compatible with the Tab. You will always face data drop issue. I've tried and done several network test with so many digi simcards all got prob. Hotlink simcard works like a charm though.

I've emailed them several times but their respond is very disappointing. "Always a smarter choice"?? Dont think so!!

i bought my set from the same seller. Chargers working fine. can charge as fast as original. now i put the new charger at office, original at home and car charger ..of course inside my car. the cable come with it is working fine. can charge and sync.
*
Bro, so when u charge your tab with this charger, does the Tab shows "USB Connected"? or just charge like original charger?

Cool!! Its really hard to get a Tab compatible charger. I bought the Kensington car charger, comes with dual USB port, 1 x 2.1A & 1x 1A. When try to charge it also shows "USB Connected", so its not charging. sad.gif

Have you tried using epayment on gsc website? Doesnt work
Yup, I use gsc website and bought tickets for several times already. You install Dolphin HD browser, then set the "User Agent" as Desktop and you are good to do!

Curious why the use of car charger. Usually we are in car for maybe max 1 hour, so charging will not be complete, interrupted. Isnt that bad for battery life?
Since Tab drains battery so fast especially on 3G network, its always good to have a spare in-car charger for emergency! tongue.gif

Samsung released the non 3g (no phone) version recently retailing at rm1499

Just found out cheapest price for original samsung case for TAB....think of buying...

Erm, I dont really like the case, especially in horizontal standing position, notice the top part is loose. The more movement the Tab is in the case, the higher the chance the Tab get scratched within the case itself.

so means if i buy this tab , 3g would be problematic if i am on Digi?
hopefully AP will go down more like rm1100  thumbup.gif

Ya, I can confirm that digi 3g will have problem on tab.

You can go for digi + edge if u want to have good battery life as I find that digi edge is best among other celco.

But if u want 3g speed, then don go for digi coz u're gonna regret like me for signing my life to them. Tried at least 4 diff digi sim and tried both diginet & 3gdgnet on all sim, buy also the same. Seeking help from digi is even worse, such waste of time and whatever they ask u to do or troubleshoot are rubbish.

I think you are making a blanket statement just based on your experience. Digi is perfect for me since day one using their data services not only on the TAB but also on my other android, iphone for family

QUOTE(shiwamoto @ Mar 31 2011, 11:53 PM)
Totally agreed!!

Me same using Digi on my TAB..
No problem @ all..

Well, I can't blame you guys for since digi is working fine on you. Good for you then.

My bad for not making it clearly. Last few weekend when I was in Shah Alam it was working fine. That's the only place that digi 3g is working without problem for me. So far I've tested many places in Penang and all are same. So well, you are lucky if yours is working fine! You have better luck than I am.

Oh, fyi, Im talking about Tab ONLY. I didn't say its not working on other phone as well, did I? My same simcard at the same spot works very fine with my other smartphones and my iPhones too.

And if u still think I am making blanket statement, then just be it. But well if u read back the post, I am not the only one facing the problem. Or am I left in the dark that I am the only having problem? notworthy.gif

what's d problem on digi sim bro?
Yo bro! Digi 3g data keep dropping. It always timeout then disconnect and reconnect back itself. U will see the 3g/H logo lost and come back. Maxis and celcom working fine, digi 2g also fine. icon_rolleyes.gif

I think u have a faulty phone then a sim card or some configuration u miss out, i base in PG, bayan lepas, George town, BM, prai and very frequent travel (PG - KL (once per week)-SG once permonth) but i don't seem like having any trouble with DIGI sim .....
It seem like u diagnose ur sim card with other phone and it work well but u still complaint abt the sim card ? i do wonder ....
*
Good to know bout this! Hmmm, ya, its very pathetic and could probably true bout my unit is faulty. I've brought to Samsung and they told me the same thing, I'm not the only one facing problem with digi. So I go back to digi and they have replaced a new simcard for me but the problem still there. Last time when using stock rom already have this problem, then later upgraded to newer stock rom and now on overcome but the problem still there.

In digi email, they admit its that my location has no full 3g coverage but it in fact funny coz my other phone on digi 3g running at around 800kbps.

So, its still unresolved til now. Gonna change a maxis sim to use with it soon. Maxis speed test is hitting 4Mbps at my area and no data drop.

Anyway, thanks for the location sharing. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

one thing i like about the Tab (and Galaxy S):

using mVideoPlayer, i can view my favourite anime with subtitles! 720 .mkv ones. no need to convert here and there using Handbrake or Footbrake or disc brake. lol.
*
Aiks, I thought the stock video also can play 720p mkv plus the support of subtitle? Last time on stock rom it can play but a bit laggy. But now in Overcome it plays very smooth.

if the sub is in .srt format u can play thru stock Video app.

but most anime that uses .mkv container format is using .ass subtitle format which is embedded in the file itself, hence need the mVideoPlayer.

I've just installed the modded Google maps v5.2.1 with unlocked Navigation. It works flawlessly. As opposed to Brut's release of v.4.6.0, GMap v5.2.1 is the latest version.

Head on to XDA Dev forum for more info if you are interested:
