I am using zinio. You have to launch reader hub and download the zinio reader. Than sign in using username and password. You will see list of your mags subscription. It will not work if you install it from an apk file.

you dont know when you will be hit. Pirated cracked apps will often bring strange instability issues such as frequent force closures. Worse your personal details and password stored on device could inadvertently being captured by hackers. Example at the end of day you could endup hefty phone bills as described in this article
Android apps generally cheap us99 cent to us$3. If you can afford a rm2k gadget pay for apps and support the developers. Download it from market or reputable sources. Beware of The dangers of open source. Dont be penny wise but pound foolish.

Can you give me full settings you have done ; i will update the post #4

True. True. I have been using MACS for the past 6 years and I have never need to worry about virus/trojan attacks on Macs. Unlike Windows, you will forever faced with such issues and many websites keep prompting you about virus attacks - really irritating. Use a MAC , never need to worry. That's one of the attractions of the MAC OS. It is not that the Mac is not susceptible to virus attacks ; there are now infact quite few anti-virus solutions for the MACs - for the " Just in Case" situation. The seemingly virus immunity by Macs is mainly due to its unpopularity with hackers and virus developers.

Apple i-devices apps are strictly controlled by Apple before allow to be placed in app store. ALL android apps do not go thro such stringent checks. Any Tom, d*** and Harry can just put an app in the Market. But last month Google announced steps will be taken to control and approve apps to be placed onto market due to the flourishing of poor and unreliable apps, which directly affects Android as a good alternative platform. As Android apps are open sourced it is more easily cracked/pirated - this could also account for the growing popularity of Android. However installing such apps is at one risk and one should be aware of the possible bad consequences.

Actually I have no idea ?? It works very well since my first day on stock roms to all the various cooked roms I have. It is a user friendly app with no additional input or settings required by user. Why don't you do a backup ; do a factory reset and try again without installing any other 3rd party apps. If it works could be some of your 3rd party apps issue - in this case you need to do a " Sherlock Holmes " study yourself and eliminate possible causes

Actually you will not miss use Zinio Reader. I find that reading magazines on a tablet is only a novelty. It is not practical. Infact it is very tiring to read a magazine on the tablet. Even my previous iPad with a bigger display 9.7" I find it bad ; it is even worse on the Tab with a smaller display.
It is good just to show off this feature to some of my not so literate smartphone friends.

See pics below. Cover of mag is magnificient. Go onto the contents . OMG - need to scroll up/down and left/right plus continual pinch n zoom as generally all mags fonts will be displayed small. Just imagine reading a whole mag on the tablet - reading few selected articles might be Ok but definitely not the whole mag. By the time you read a few pages, your fingers are tired and your eyes start to blur..

Depend on quality of your USB car charger - a 1000mA can charge it ; that was what I used to use. Mine is a high quality unit I bought previously to charge the ipad - cost me S$85. Those cheaper types rm 30 to RM 60 type might have a problem as usually their ratings are often overstated. I also bought a 2100mA unit from a forumer AdamKing here ( he also has a Tab); contact him in Garage sales. Any good charger that can charge the ipad can similarly charge the TAB

Want to have a Motorola Xoom Honeycomb animation during booting up as per video below ?




http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975832

Tested and works very well on my TAB ( on Overcome 1.2.0 )

Instructions scattered in the thread. Here is a short quick summary

Use Root Explorer : tap the RW box - browse to system/media
Paste the bootanimation.zip and replace the default file ( you can rename it just in case or keep a backup copy)
Right click the bootanimation.zip
Select permissions in the popup menu and set to
owner: read & write
group: read
other: read

Reboot Tab

An owner here in our forum ( check back old thread ) had reported this problem ; he sent in and got the battery replaced as it was defective. Apparently this is a problem with some units as similarly reported in other forums too. So don't wait - get it replaced

Added on March 3, 2011, 3:05 amNo only one launcher at any one time. You can install as many launchers as you want. Use Home Switcher , a free app - easier to use to select launcher you need at any time

overcome 1.2 comes with his own kernel which allows overclock to 1.4ghz. No need to install any other unless you wish to try

---

Added on March 3, 2011, 8:56 amYou just need to flash modaco kernel over it will overwrite. But basing on my experience is not wise to do so as some older kernel files are not fully deleted could cayse some issues

Steve Jobs " malu" to say it . At just 256 MB - it is horribly low. when I tested the multitask features with the new ioS4.2 - it does not work too well either - works only with apps that support it. I find that still need to JB it to have better multitasking but than with such a low memory - you still need to close some apps. I was expecting at least a 512 MB ram for the ipad2 - some pundits predicted 1 GB - my were these guys disappointed with such high unrealistic hopes
Anyway ipad2 good for new users to start off with if they want an ipad. Forget about the original ipad. Msian prices, lastnite all present ipad models price cuts across at RM 400 less. OUch !!! real pain for those who just bought

I have been testing on this ; just for fun. My findings ( not necessary true as I am just as noob as others ) :
I find the best way to completely have a fresh new stable kernel is to reflash back to RFS fs , factory reset, than only install new ext4 based kernel

This post has been edited by benny888: Mar 3 2011, 10:39 AM

Easiest test : Samsung says continuos video - 7 hours. So just play a movie 1.5 to 2 hours and see your battery usage. A simple though is a rough guide - gives one a pretty good assessment

I prefer flash using Odin 1.7 to RFS rom eg JME - repartition, PIT, PDA . I have tried flash to RFS Modaco but still have issues on temperatures out of control

Added on March 3, 2011, 12:27 pmAs Sherlock Holmes used to say, " My dear Watson, it is elementary deduction". The official specs listing did not mention RAM size at all unlike the first ipad. If there is any increase in RAM don't you think Steve Jobs will capitalize on it to mention it. Worse of all, it is quietly kept out , not listed at all in the official specs. RAM is an important specs - why is it left out ???
Someone please prove me wrong

OMG - don't tell me it could even be lower than 256 MB ???? !!!!

If it is genuine output 1000mA it will work. There are just too many fakes and imitation of car chargers in the market now.
The TAB needs minimum 1000mA . If you want to be safe, just get those that can change the ipad - sure can work or find those with output 2000mA . The latter even generic cheap - about RM 30 to RM 40 only. Better quality be prepared RM 100+

Added on March 4, 2011, 8:00 amI did not really test OC to 1.4 Ghz. I tested it few hours on Richardtrip kernel - the higher temperatures were a distraction, though it is said to be safe. There are several users in this forum on it. Just trace back the posts and ask them
Frankly I am not comfortable with such a high O/C and since I don't play games I don't really need such a high O/C

I am now on Overcome 1.2 and set it to 1.2 GHz - this is just an academic exercise only to assess the stability. So far very good, no major issues. Temperatures are reasonably just slight higher than stock 1.0 Ghz

Charging using AC : 37 to 38 degree
Standby not used : 30 degree
IN use - browsing, email, RSS , etc - 33 to 38 degree

Voltage controls : I left it as set by Overcome's rom - I noted he has reduced the values from default

I also use SetCPU to control my battery life - it is very good tool. I find is better than using those apps that supposedly helps on battery life
These are my settings:

On boot : Max 1200 MHz Min 600 Mhz - On Demand
My Profiles: All set to CONSERVATIVE

Battery < 33 % : 800, 400 : 95 %
Temp > 42 degree : 600, 400 : 100 %
Screen off : 600, 400 : 80 %
Charging AC : 800, 600 : 80 %

Overcome updated rom expected end of today ; his change log listed below
You will now have option to have stock kernel or one with OC options
I think his honeycomb animation is the same as the one I posted previously
However I don't quite like recovery to use internal SD - what happen if it is corrupted ?? Leceh only - have to reflash Modaco kernel to use ext sd card
Those who has used the Galaxy S before will notice, he is implementing Voodoo Lag Fix - sound good , this should boost the performance considerably
Anyway look forward to updating to it :

QUOTE :

Version 1.2.1
Overcome Kernel 1.1 included (Standard, Non-OC)
Honeycomb boot animation
Updated Maps to 5.2.0
Updated Market to 2.3.3
Updated GMail to 2.3.4.1

Kernel changes :
KERNEL CHANGE LOG
Version 1.1
Available in two version - Standard and 1.4ghz OC/UV
Clockworkmod Recovery 2.5.1.8
Recovery uses internal SD rather than external
Further tweaks to kernel source
More compiler optimizations
Voodoo Lagfix (much cleaner implementation of ext4 than what is currently used)
Rebuilt initramfs

What mail app are you using ? Most mail app will have settings to allow settings on how you which to be notify - thro tones, notification on top bar, vibrate etc

I don't use the default mail or android mail ; I use only K9-MAIL which I consider the best with so much added features

I removed all mail notifications even on default GMail and Yahoo app mail - find it irritating as I get lots of mails from these 2 accounts - mainly subscription and LowYat forum threads update

Added on March 4, 2011, 1:32 pmNoted your first post . Are you TAB user. If so, welcome
What did you fix ?

Added on March 4, 2011, 1:35 pm1000mA will work - previously I uses one ( McKay brand ) but is expensive, cost me S$80 bucks. It charges the TAB, iPad , dell Streak ( which also needs minimum 1000mA ) very well . Not slow at all. But better get a 2000mA unit, you have more flexibility and can use for other high power devices too

This post has been edited by benny888: Mar 4 2011, 01:40 PM

Just installed Modaco kernel ( no ext 4 convert ) , during kernel change the original rom will be backup on ext sdcard. Rename the backup file as original stock. From recovery , just restore back

---

Added on March 4, 2011, 9:59 pmIt should be download mode NOT recovery when you want to flash with Odin

---

Added on March 4, 2011, 10:01 pmWhat mail app ? If this happens only after you change rom. try address it to the developer to get a fast answer

---

Added on March 4, 2011, 10:05 pmLooks like battery issue . the TAB should not switch off itself on locked mode. Do you have any apps controlling battery usage that at default after some time shut down phone

This post has been edited by benny888: Mar 4 2011, 10:10 PM

sorry no idea ; I do not use it and infact deleted it

If you want this, there is an app that can show this. Cannot remember the name - try google for it . But if you use ADW launcher, you can download supporting apps to display the notification on SMS, mail etc. Just google adw notification in market
