Power off your phone, and power it back on. Power it back on by Press power+volume button down at the same time. When you see the computer--!-- sign release the buttons.

You are now in download mode, although you can't see the little android with the shovel. Connect it to a pc with an odin 1.7 open and you will be able to reflash it.

Welcome, welcome. We definitely will benefit from your input as you are a very experienced Android user

Not available yet and I think it will not be available as the item seems to be stuck with no news of any release. the ipad CCK sucks - a waste of money poorly designed as it can only transfer photos and videos only. For files you need to jailbreak the ipad and buy another app to do it and is not efficient

I have used the Galaxy S before but only a month. On both its default stock rom and several cooked Froyo with added Voodoo lag fixes - I find is still perform poorly. I got a lot of brickbats ( all PM ) from SGS fans when I openly said in the SGS threads it was the worst Android smartphone I have ever used. I score it a 5 against the Nexus One ( 10), HD2 on Android ( 8-9 ), Dell Streak ( 8) . I find those criticizing me forgot that I also bought the phone with my own money - why should I have bad comments about it if I am happy with it. Infact one of the fanboy even PM me again last month to tell me to try latest 2.2.1 and change my opinion about it. I do agree with the latest 2.2.1 it probably improve a lot but sadly I don't have a phone to test it

YES - the Galaxy Tab even in its stock rom is way much better than the SGS ; is a fact and a undeniable fact as far as I am concerned. Some guys might disagree - well is OK ; this is what make the world exciting. If everybody agree with everyone it will be a darn boring world

Brightstar is selling it now RM 2099 - local warranty ; check it up at Garage sales

Maxis 24 month contract ( no details yet ) on 6 May RM 2499 together with Motorola DEfy as part of package

So far all the indications points to only a WiFi version for the 8.9", no 3G enable yet. You have to use WiFi for all data functions - so no SMS/MMS

Added on April 29, 2011, 10:21 pmNot all apps in Samsung apps is in your Tab. What apps are available depend on the country. You can overcome this limitation by tricking the Tab to be from another country. See front page Technical Issues - I have listed the steps to do it ; it's quite tedious. A simpler way flash Overcome rom and you can access the 3 dictionaries you need

You can only answer this yourself as different user different needs. I am running mine at 1.2 GHz as I multitask a lot and I prefer the additional power boost. It is even OK to underclock it to run at 600 MHz depending on what you need to use it for
Battery life - is your own management - you can refer to front page - I have listed some links on how to maximize battery life ; guarantee to work. I don't believe in using apps eg juice defender, green power etc as these basically does what the manual methods do and call me phobia - I just don't like to put in apps that interferes with system files
You can consider using voltage control app too - I make a 200 reduction across board ; this helps to reduce battery temperature and improve battery life. It will not affect performance as far as I can see

YES - just get the 30 pin to composite video cable which also can be used for TV
I'd say many PDA shops are selling it ; electronic retails eg SenQ is selling original RM 1599 and with voucher discount RM 1499. You should not pay more than RM 1599 and don't even consider AP sets as this new pricing is so attractive - why buy AP unless it is drastically cheaper. If you are in KL - just go to LowYat, PJ Digital Mall, Sunway Pyramid and MidValley IT centers

Generally 20 % within the first month.

Yes depend one needs. The tab is always with me when I am out. I have no problem carrying it as with the book type casing is still good fit in my pants sidepockets.

Added on April 30, 2011, 6:33 pmThanks for the notice. Already updated the first 2 links on roms

You can use any generic wall charger with usb port. The usb cable will not cost more than rm40. I am using my previous ones which i use it for my htc and are generic types.

Contact adamking user too garage sales. He sells tab accessories

Where did you get your Tab - it has strange firmware codes which I am unable to find even at samfirmware.com ? Anyway this is for your information on KIES - taken from samfirmware.com. Your Tab is definitely not original Msian version

Your best option to update is to flash the rom yourself manually

Q: I flashed my phone and kies works fine only i can't update my phone anymore.
A: This is because you re using a firmware from another other country that you live.
KIES recognize only your own country.


Q: How can i fix this Samsung Kies update problem?
A: Take a firmware from youre region but also the CSC of your region. KIES will see youre phone now.

Added on May 3, 2011, 12:41 pmRandom restart is usually due to apps conflict. You have just got to check which 3rd party apps you have installed recently - one thing I can say apps not from market and from those ahem sources can give a lot of problems

This post has been edited by benny888: May 3 2011, 12:42 PM

You should go back to Seng Heng - ask them about the source of the Tab. If is from another country - you cannot update through KIES

Please refer page 1 post#5 on ROM Flashing to see guide how to flash other roms.

Added on May 3, 2011, 1:13 pmThose who buy TABS from SenQ can you share your firmware version? Just wish to know its source if it is not selling M'sian designated sets

Factory reset will remove all 3rd party app
Backup using mybackuppro and restore from it

Just launch titanium backup and select restore. Do it without selecting the red flag items. Tick those apps you want restore. Èrd party apps are in green
Actually using mybackuppro is a better choice for such need

Added on May 3, 2011, 7:54 pmTry overcome as it is a all in one solution as it offer file system change to ext4; kernel and rom change

What rom are you on?
use titanium backup do a backup or use es file explorer just backup the calendar app. Delete app using titanium backup. Then reinstall the calendar app
you did not give detail what you have done or install before this issue so difficult to identify source of problem

Then reflash the rom again - you will not lose your data - select the update zip. Maybe rom issue - no harm trying. I am also on same rom - did not face such issues

Added on May 3, 2011, 10:51 pmAre you using the latest KIES ver 2.0 ?

This post has been edited by benny888: May 3 2011, 10:51 PM

LOL! That's a good one

Yes , set it up as a wireless hotspot or USB thether with notebook - but it will drain the battery at least 30% faster. But why the need to do this - is not practical ; might as well take out the 3G card and plug into the USB modem which will be more efficient

Added on May 4, 2011, 9:35 amYES - sign up member on spot and redemm the RM 100 ; many buyers are doing that
