Guys, just wanna share. with the new updated Gingerbread 2.3, my GPS location lock with Sygic is amazingly fast. Now, it'll only take less than 10 seconds to get my location fixed even I'm inside my house, near the window. If I'm outdoor, it'll take less than 6 seconds. :-)

Previously with Froyo 2.2, it will take around 3-5 minutes. That is a huge difference.

If you're from any gingerbread roms from XDA, then no-need to do the bootloader routine

Not sure about the latest Asian Gingerbreads.... never tested them. Never really a stock person myself. ;-)

I'd say just do it - is only a very fast process, not even half a minute. This is for the kiasu type user who always worry about this or that scenario. Just putting in this effort will clear your worries . It doesn't cost you much trouble doing it. I have often got PM from users asking me this many tines and my reply always - if you so kiasu and worry, just do it. It will not spoil your Tab

Since this ver 3.0 is on a new based I'd highly recommend users to flash a full wipe. Don't worry about your data - use TB to backup all your apps/data. Backup all important associated apps data on internal SD and other personal data . Yes I know it takes more work but it could solve you a lot of headaches trying to flash it as an update zip. I could be wrong - better be safe than later worry, pulling hair out scenario trying to solve some bugs arising. I have proven that even restoring form a Froyo based 1.6.4 there was NO issues at all

that is not very good ; I consistently lockup in 1-2 seconds on Sygic Aura at all places even on stock rom and all versions of cooked Froyo ( Modaco and Overcome ). This is even achieved inside my house

Hey Benny, you are right lah. Just for the sake of experiment, I tried again and again, managed to get an average of 2-3 seconds location lock inside my house. rclxms.gif wayy better than Froyo. My friend would laugh at me while i'm waiting to get a GPS signal lock. haha. He would say, it would be faster to stop and ask someone the direction rather than waiting for my GPS signal lock.

First of all dont panic. Reading your posts your tab xan be revived
charge it for 4 hours

then jyst follow my guide in rom section how to revive tab using rotohammer jme
when you switch on tab you might see phone-computer logo thus is good meanibg you are in download mode and can be flash. Jyst connect the tab in such a condition launch odin. As ling as you see connected you are safe

Benny, i hv charged the GT for 8 hours and it still couldn't start up... nothing's changed after the recharge, still as below :
- once wall plug charge, a "phone --!-- computer" screen appear on-and-off ("on" for 8 seconds then "blank" for 16 seconds, keeps repeating)
- whole screen gone "blank" once unplugged (within the 8 seconds time of "on" menitioned above)
- hardware reset while wall plug is on, "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE" appear and gone in split second

whoaaaa so fast V3 after not logging in for some time !! Just flashed to Icarus and now playing around with it ..

Tried using the same settings for OC/UV as Hermes but keeps shutting down. So just running it without OC/UV for now.

First thing to notice was the new boot screen !!! woots looks awesome !! Next was after booting up the new icons on the top (battery/wifi/data) looks great !!!

Ok .. going to go fiddle with it more especially trying to load HD videos from Youtube.

Keep up the great work team overcome smile.gif

Did you try connect tab to pc and launch odin once you see the tab bootup with the phone--computer logo. Try it and if odin can detect tab it will be shown as a lighted yellow bix with com###

after connecting for 20 minutes, it seems to hv connection now

should i flash it now ?

Post 4 Q4. I am ready to flash a new rom. How do I start.

Post 4 Q15. One of our forumer reported: I think I brick my TAB while trying to flash Chainfire Recovery. I am unable to have download or recovery mode displayed. What is on the screen is just a logo of a computer and a phone. What can I do to restore it to boot ?

Post 5 UPGRADING FIRMWARE and ROMS
( Life saver rom in case you flash kernel/rom and your TAB is frozen and cannot be rebooted: )

should i follow the Post 5 ?

Yes . You can see it is connected. Now flash RotoHammer JME - select pit ( make sure you have the right file - Pi_add_hidden_pit ) , repartition and PDA
Your Tab can now be revived. Put in a wrong PIT file - you will, brick it again
