I am having problems with 2.0 Gold too... System sometimes slows down to a crawl and stutter...
Can I just revert back to the RC1 using the Update method? Or do I have to do the full install again?

You need to flash full zip not update zip as you are downgrading not upgrading

just curious.. is it really safe for our tab to charge via car charger?
would it affect the battery life in the long run?
*
Why not safe ?? where you got this idea it is not safe. The car charger power input is less than your direct AC input. Car charging will be slower

Hey guys I just bought my galaxy tab and I 'm looking for a case,  could you guys recommend me any good case?
*
Good case depend on budget.

PVC , fake leather - rm 30 to rm50
Lather PU - rm 90 to RM 120
Genuine leather RM 180 to RM220
High class genuine leather RM 300-RM 400

If you are in KL , just go to Lowyat - you will be flooded with choices

If you want long lasting, buy those in the RM 100+ range. Those cheap types will fade off, frayed and peel off ( especially the edges ) after several months of use

So does it means every downgrade better use Odin flash to stock rom then only use CWM to update?

If I flash back to Overcome RC1-- flash to stockrom then flash via CWM Overcome RC1.

Is it like that? Sorry to ask so many question. Sorry because I'm use still a noob?

By the way will you still guide us because you seems to have purchase Acer Iconia and Asus Transformers
*
What do you want to do ? I thought you want to flash back tyo 1.6 ?? Now you said RC1 ?? If RCI, it is OK to flash from CWM but not update zip - flash full zip

To downgrade back to 1.6 - The method I list out is guaranteed safest way. Flash JMK stockrom ( refer to the `1.6.4 thread at XDA) and use JMF modem

As Overcome 2.0 Gold/RCi is based on a different kernel and is Gingerbread based vs 1.6 which is Froyo based and different kernel
So I am assuming it will be a problem if you just flash directly from CWM. maybe pitbull can clarify this ??

I did not buy Transformer - only the Iconia : just to test only Honeycomb not as my main tablet

There are many experts and sifus in this thread , way much knowledgeable than me. I started this thread just to learn and share info with others

Sorry I make mistake is HTC Flyer not ASUS Transformers!

So will you still support us on this thread (Galaxy Tab) ?

Please don't abandon us don't leave us without your help we will stuck in the dark!
*
I bought the Flyer out of curiosity and just want to do a comparison with the Tab. Many have PM asking which is better

My standard answer : If you like a nice and beautiful UI - HTC Sense and you need to do a lot of writing on the tablet, jotting notes - get the Flyer but pay a premium of nearly RM 800 to RM1000 for it over the Tab

There is one exceptional feature I like about the Flyer - is its keyboard. I can post replies and write new posts on this forum lowyat with ZERO problems. The cursor is darn accurate, no skipping , no jumping and what I type I can see , without it sometimes disappearing from view. I give a score of 9 for this, while the Tab will score a miserable 2. My other tablet the Iconia will score a perfect 10.

Things I don't quite like the Flyer but can still tolerate :
- cannot root yet, so no roms, no kernels to experiment yet
- System fonts a bit small and only one type, no choices
- landscape mode one direction only to the left as the capacitative buttons will auto rotate over to the landscape side when tilted . Also limitation due to on the right side has a camera in the middle
- its LCD density ( lower than Tab ) restricts some apps which does not display so well/or balanced on homescreen. Best is still use default UI. I try ADW, Launcher Pro and Spb Shell - most turnout not nice as the icons and widget sizes doesn't look balanced on screen. If can root, the LCD density I can change it but not now

In general both Flyer and Tab performance quite similar - doesn't see any significant differences

TMNet is one screwup account.

Anyway :

password : XXXXXXX

Pop : pop.tm.net.my
SMTP: roam.tm.net.my

Security settings for both just leave as default
SMTP : key in your full email address as user

If still cannot work, try tomorrow - sometimes their servers go haywire

Sygic Aura is highly recommended; is my choice over Papago X5
The price for Msia/Spore Maps is now reduced - Euro 9.99 vs about Euro 30-35 previously

Why even consider AP when price difference just rm200? It is not worth the hassle if you have problem
And buying AP avoid middle east ( market restrict issues a) and USA sets ( cannot call)
I have received 2 PM on middle east sets how to solve market issues which need flash new rom and one pm how to make USA sets can make call - this is a big headache to correct but can be done

Guys,

Anyone using DiGi telco here. I've got an issue with my TAB since yday night - unable to establish connection via 3G / HSDPA connection with DiGi. even there is a symbol indicating connected but there wasn't any DATA traffic transmission also.

What should I do or check with the TAB ?

Thank you.

Did you setup your APN settings?
Do it at settings/wireless network/mobile networks
Refer page 1 for digi apn there are 2 types

Test with another simcard to dismiss hardware issues ? Sometimes could be simcard. I understand digi easy prepaid has such issues too and some user change to other prepaid plan

I am currently using DiGi Postpaid, previously I am using LG GW620 and it seems to be working fine. Would it be the Galaxy Tab that is giving the hardware problem ?
I've tried to seek for solutions from the DiGi Centre but none of the reps are able to provide me an answer for this issue. Sigh ~ sad.gif
*
There was one user here like you just couldn't get DIGI to work on his Tab but he has no problems with other telco. I have no issues using all the telcos - presently my Tab is on Digi internet prepaid. You should ask for a change in simcard to test - if still cannot, test with another telco. If still have issues , probably hardware . You need to do process of elimination yourself

tab is 7" but transformer is 10"  but the transformer no 3G !!

zz.. any advise???

Buy the tab if you wish for great portability . Suggest get the 3g/wifi as is a much better performer vs WiFi only model
The eeepad is a different class due to its size
I am very sure you will love the Tab

Buy a 10" tablet plus keyboard I rather carry my 11" MBA.
Defeat purpose of portability
do read eeepad thread the keyboard has build quality issues and is confirm by several web reviews
Btw you can buy Samsung keyboard that dock with tab. Check Samsung website. I saw it selling at kl Samsung and sine DIGI center too
