1. The Galaxy Tab uses a propriety connection pretty much like Apple. Which means you can't use the same mini/microusb cable like the other phones. You'll have to use the supplied cable or any 3rd party tab cables.

2. Easiest way is to use the supplied cable, connect it to pc as usb storage and transfer your file to the internal storage or sd card

Guys! I have another question. I'm hearing that the WiFi only version can't support HDMI output? That's something my mum will probably use. Can anyone confirm?

If indeed it doesn't support it natively, is there an app or something that enables it?

I'll be googling it up now but it'd be better if I have info from actual users smile.gif

I don't have first hand experience but based on the feedbacks from xda forums (which seems to be down now) the wifi version DOESN'T support HDMI output. This could be due to the GPU which is hardware so not sure if a software can solve it

is it a must to use GB-stock-safe kernel to update overcome 2.0?

Best to do so, although many reported no problems going to overcome 2.0 after loading stock gingerbread firmware. Mind you, doing the GB-stock-safe method will wipe your internal SD (e.g. where your TitaniumBackup data is stored) so do backup to PC or external SD first, then remove the external SD while flashing. smile.gif

Update : Have installed overcome 2.0 beta2. My gawd, it's smooth!!! Still loses to my CM7 on the SGS, though, ha ha. No time to run Quadrant yet, will update my forum sig later today.

Hey guys, my mum is about to get a Galaxy Tab. I need some help from you guys within the next 20 mins tongue.gif

Can anyone who owns the WiFi version confirm that there isn't a GPS Chip?
Also, could anyone who tried both the 3G AND WiFi please tell me if there's a major difference in performance? I heard there's a difference, just how much exactly?

Yup, as you've correctly pointed out, it'll be best to do the whole restock route, as from the many feedback we're getting, there's still some niggling but minor "leftover" glitches here and there going from the stock GB firmware. Don't misconstrue it to mean that you can't do a stock GB to Overcome 2.x, but best practice would be to have a cleaner slate by doing the restock route, according to the guide.

It's inherently faster and very well optimised, despite the RFS file-system found within. One irony is that, you'll encounter a very much lower Quadrant/other synthetic benchmark scores compared to the older much-optimised FroYo-based Overcome 1.x, which is attributable, we believe, to the RFS FS. This is one clear example, that synthetic benchmarks aren't the end-all when it comes to measuring a device and the experience it provides. Before pre-release battery of tests we've conducted, at best Quadrant gave me only 1,200! If you were to take the scores as the gospel truth, you'd think that the Gingerbread base is slow as molasses, but using it in real-life, it's definitely not so, right? ;-)

Well, here's a quick perspective: Yup, the Gingerbread base that Samsung has provided, is indeed a superb foundation to build on. Right now, what you're seeing is still based on the default kernel Samsung gave us, with not much optimisations yet! You can be sure, once the kernel sources are released, you can be sure the devs out there would be pimpin' their magic onto those customised kernels! Remember the early days when the 1.x Overcome Kernels/ROMs were only providing us about 1,400-1,600 Quadrant scores? Now, at the stock 1.0Ghz clock-speeds, the 1.x are easily breaking the 2,000 barrier! :-)

Bright future indeed...

Samsung definitely is improving their software back-end... kudos to them!

Guys, just wanna confirm this before i buy my SGT this weekend.

I'm in a Electronic Security System line of business (e.g. CCTV, Electric Fence, etc.). Whenever i go to meet my client, i have to play a few samples of CCTV recording, in .avi. Some of them are huge files, like the one for High Definition (HD) cameras, one of the file is 32 seconds at 49.2MB. And, there's a lot more HD recording files. My Atom netbook really can't handle them. 

My question are:-

1. Can SGT handle the playback of HD video files smoothly and flawlessly? Because my presentation cannot sucks with incapable hardware :-)
2. What are the video files that SGT can play? What are the video files format that I have to convert to play in SGT?
3. Is there any maximum resolutions OR sizes of HD video files that SGT can handles?

Thanks in advance.

So far I had no problem playing back my 1080p movies. Works flawlessly. Files will depends on yr player. Hope that helps

Not sure what you mean by FULL CWR. I went up to Overcome 2.0 beta2 via the recommended restock process. Easy to do as long as you really read the PDF guide and don't simply skim over the important details, like what some people did and complained that they've lost their whole internal sd data (in the xda dev forum thread).

Synthetic benchmarks are just that, synthetic.. rclxm9.gif

Buddy, you're the fella who wrote the Overcome guides, no? One of the best step-by-step guides I've come across on the web!!

I donated last night to alterbridge86 via paypal, I wonder if a bit of that 'beer' goes to you too? Hope you don't mind my asking. I always believe in giving something back.. smile.gif

Shhh..... don't say it too loudly. ;-) but thanks for the compliment! I'll give you a secret I've never actually told anyone, not even the team... I was actually inspired by brother Benny here. When I first got my Tab, it was his original great instructions about rooting and flashing over to the MoDaCo ROMs/Kernel that got me on my journey in Android Samsung-style! Those of us, spoilt by the ease of HTC's Android infrastructure had a slight learning curve to overcome, and Benny's posts on that in his blog helped me on the way! In a way, it's a tribute to his selfless desire to help, that made me write the guides... Here's a belated thanks again Uncle Benny!

Anyway, with regards to the donation... well, I'll put it this way: alterbridge86 deserves all the donation! He's a very, very nice guy, and does all of this hard work with an absolute dedication and patience that I've never seen in a developer before! His level of tolerance and patience with the newbies is really amazing! I'm just so happy to help in anyway I can, and the satisfaction of doing all of this, certainly is the best reward! :-) That and the reward of always being the first to taste the latest Overcome ROMs/Kernels way fresh out of the oven, of course.... ;-)
