suggest you do a hard reset and see whether issue arise again. use titanium backup or mybackuppro to backup. these 2 software you need to root phone. If you dont want to root, than reinstall all apps allover again.
If issue again, than is definately battery issue , send in ask for replacement battery

If no issue after factory reset, than is your 3rd party apps issue especially those system utilities , battery usage control apps. For such stay away from apps from dubious sources

why you use samfirmware. I already advise you to use roto. samfirmware are locked bootloader - you don't flash it with a dead rom

Added on March 5, 2011, 12:05 amThere are reported many cases of battery failure after few months - just google this subject on the web. Working fine previously does not mean it will not fail. I am only guessing as the symtoms point to such
I never use task killers , never believe in using it
Anyway taskkillers should not affect. There is default a good task manager if you need , why still need to use other taskkiller

What system utilities you have ?

Glad you got it done. It is not that hair raising experience - just a small spurt of adrenalin only

Since you have successfully done, should upgrade to latest JMI ; JMA is very old rom.
Recommend Overcome 1.2 JMI or Modaco R1 JMI : both equally good and stable . Overcome latest has built in own kernel, conversion to ext 4 and more features

From CWM recovery, just flash the full zip. It will auto install kernel and convert to ext 4 ( if is still in RFS ). Very convenient. Anyway better wait , the developer said he is releasing ver 1.2.1 supposedly last nite, maybe today. He has offered 2 options : stock kernel at 1.0 Ghz and another with option to overclock to 1.2 and 1.4. Ver 1.2 is inclusive OC options

YES ; the present papago X5 version only looks nice and perfect up to 5" ( at least that's what I can see on my 5" Dell Streak ) without even applying any settings.
If you wish to use this, you have to bear with it. Maybe an improved version meant for tablets will come, no one knows when ? My emails to M3Shoppe and Papago remain until today unanswered ; some more I bought the software - talk about good customer service - real disappointing

I only use Facebook widget - don't seem to have refresh issues. It continually refresh my friends posting - is auto. Never tried others. Anyway I am not a Facebook great fan , though I have an account. Only once a while , I check status only

Try follow this tutorial written by me

Read and understand the last portion about patching your bootloader first

Anything not clear, plenty of guys here will chip in to help you

Right. I just download the update zip and install on top 1.2 while having my roti canai at warong. Just took 10 min to complete include download time. Got a sounding from missus asking me why cannot do such at home and should concentrate on breakfast

Correct

You just download the zip file - put at root of ext sd card. Boot to recovery mode - select the downloaded zip file. This is the standard way of flashing a new rom from CWM recovery
If you flash Overcome 1.2.0 and above - it will also auto convert your kernel to Overcome version. And if your fs is still RFS, it will auto convert to EXT4 fs

QUOTE :
The bluetooth keyboard/case has been a tremendous productivity tool. I’ve managed to type this review in its entirety with the keyboard and it has been a great experience. As I mentioned in the video review, there is a slight learning curve to it but after that, you will be typing as fast as you do on a normal keyboard. The battery life is exceptional! I have been using this keyboard on and off for about 4 days now have yet to plug it in to charge it. This keyboard, coupled with a few other apps, makes typing long emails and controlling the entire tab easy and intuitive. It’s now a pleasure to sit on Google Talk and chat with my friends and have long conversations with them using this keyboard; it feels natural. So if you are in the market for a portable keyboard for your Galaxy Tab and want to save yourself the embarrassment of carrying around a full-sized keyboard in your backpack, then go ahead and pick up one for yourself. I think with the perfect sized bluetooth mouse, you basically get a mini netbook. Prices due vary ($40-$90) so shop around. I recommend using ebay or google shopping to get the best deals. Just search for Galaxy Tab Bluetooth Keyboard Case! If your in a rush to get one, here’s one from Brando.com.

Added on March 6, 2011, 6:18 pmPlease refer here for link of Z4root : HERE

Maybe I am not clear. ROOT your phone first. To access paid market - you can use MarketAccess or MarketEnabler - both are free apps

This post has been edited by benny888: Mar 6 2011, 06:18 PM

Did you enable fullscreen mode first?
See post#2 question 9 how to do it. It is a onetime action
You need rename all folders include sub folders as described

For rooting : simplest use z4root. If failed, than only use SuperOneClick

You cannot fully backup rom without rooting. Rooting will not and unlikely brick your phone. Is safe. After root, there are few ways to backup:

1. Backup your data/apps/settings : Titanium Backup or MyBackUpPro
2. Backup fully rom n data : Install a recovery program - advise us what is your rom firmware and will guide you best method

Yes, display usually takes up most of battery usage. So tune down brightness to acceptable level. Usage up to 80% is common

Added on March 8, 2011, 9:49 amAs far as I know, easiest way is to reflash. There could be a way to do it by pushing back the original files ( ramework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk ) from command prompt at PC ; but you need these original files first.

Before you installed a new theme, do a nandroid backup. In case you do not like the new theme, just restore back from recovery your previous rom

In layman's terms :

The kernel is the part of the Operating System that interacts directly with the hardware through device drivers that are built into the kernel. It provides following services : manage memory, control access to hardware, maintain file system, handle erroes, perform input-output services ex communication with PC etc

The rom is the other part of the OS where you have all your applications, the features

Rom developers several types : kernel only, rom only and kernel cum rom

Rotohammer develop for rom only. Paul of Modaco has his own kernel and also his own rom which can be used on other kernels. Recently Overcome wef ver 1.2 has built in hos own kernel together with his own rom

If you flash to Rotohammer - it si just a RFS file system rom. You can install Modaco kernel over it - choose the right zip file as he offer either maintain RFS or convert to EXT4 FS; read the thread properly
Overcome since after 1.2 , allows you install his kernel and rom together

My advise - spend some time reading those threads to understand their specifications. It is not difficult to understand

You MUST always keep a copy of your TB on the external microSD card. By default all backups go to the internal SD card. When you flash a NEW rom, your internal SD card is wipe clean/ After install new rom, just copy it back to internal SD card

Refer post #3 for guide: The directory is in the internal SD card : Navisea

This has nothing to do with root.
I remember I have said previously that your battery could be defective. It happens and quite few users reported such issues. I think one of the forumer here has his battery replaced too free since under warranty

Just search for battery issues in the various Galaxy Tab forums and you will see similar reports and all reported they replace the battery

This post has been edited by benny888: Mar 8 2011, 02:56 PM

Upgrade official firmware thro kies will unroot. You have to root again if your phone rooted previously

Added on March 9, 2011, 7:06 amSame here, both digi postpaid and digi prepaid is very good even on edge. Can match my postpaid celcom 3g on the dell. Only last month my place has 3g digi services, it is now even better
It could be sim card defective. Such issue do happen
using digi biggest advantage their data plan is cheapest with no hidden charges

Added on March 9, 2011, 7:15 amI assume you are using default launcher. Just hold down on icon and drag it out to any place in homescreen
then drag the app you want into the empty location at bottom apps bar
Is your data apn setting done. If not you will not have any dataservices

Download kies from : refer post #2 Question 8

Based on his firmware, if he wants official version he need installed KIES and if there is an upgrade he will be prompted to do so

If he wishes to use unofficial roms, I suggest he visit our forum and read post # 2 and # 3 to know more how to best use his TAB. He can always post his queries here and I am very sure many of us will help out

Added on March 9, 2011, 6:09 pmWong : what is wrong with kernel 1.0 from Overcome. I find no issues at all . Infact I do not also face any issue with Modaco R3 kernel. What is it that prompt you to think there is a kernel problem ?
