I like your last part ;-)

Both my posts above said the magic word "Please" ... is there something I missed?

Yes, yes, I did RTFM ... but anyone who owns a unit would know wat the FM looks like & wat kinda info is in there ... Anyway, just thought I'd try getting some helpful soul on the forums to guide me ;-)

No worries, really!

My orig questions were:

icon_question.gif

1. the screen kind of changes from bright to dim, by itself every now & then. i thought it was something to do with the light sensor > maybe when my hand blocks the light sensor, the screen gets dimmer? anyone else experience this?

2. How to do the personalisation on the opening screen ... where is says This phone belongs to ....? I've looked thru all the settings, etc, cannot find that.

3. Although my time is set correctly (I can see the correct time at the top right corner) ... but in the World Clock, if I set one for KL, I get the wrong time. Why?

4. I also got a 16GB SD Card new from the same shop ... but when I try to read the card in my PC via the SD adaptor, I get a mesg saying the card is not formatted. Neither can I format the card on the PC.

5. I then tried to connect the Tab to my laptop. Again I get an error saying cannot connect. What am I doing wrong?

Thanx Shinzan and any other sifu who'd like to  icon_question.gif  out ;-)

1. That's auto sensor in the works. You're correct the small hole top right ish is the sensor. Go manual if you hate it.

2. Hm.. i've never found that as well.. never bothered about it in any case biggrin.gif

3. did you check setting -> date and time. Set to auto.

4. Setting -> SD card and device storage.

5. Same as previous post mentioned.. or try Press and hold both Power + Vol_Down button. It will reboot into download mode.

2. The " this phone belong to >>>> " only appears if you install anti virus app ( sorry cannot remember exactly which one). You open the app and you can set in your name

3. To select time specifically and set timezone specifically - at settings disable the top box Automatic using network values and set manually

4. This type of issue happen as the card is not preformatted like most others usually being sold. The card is probably a OEM unit meant for preinsert in phones and phone formatting which was taken out for sale. So just format it in FAT32 on your PC - if you cannot use normal format use this SD tool to unlock the initial locked status and format : Your seller has pull a fast one on you

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/sdfv2000.zip

5. Just install the USB phone drivers and if you want PC to see the drives , make sure at settings/applications/development you have chosen USB debugging
Please refer page 1 postr # 3 Tech issues I have posted solutions how to get Tab detected by PC

RAM is 512 MB. It has internal flash memory 16 GB , out of which 2 GB is allocated to apps install and the balance for all associated data of the apps, example games download support data, dictionary data, references material data, RSS newsfeed data downloads etc

you can roughly see the usage based on the graph .. mostly used to sms/whatsapp/browse/wordwithfriends/facebook/twitter/foursquare/cardiotrainer/calls .. things i would normally do in a day .. nothing major like gps navigation/extended gaming/movie watching .. i've gotten more than 48 hours before on standby whistling.gif

There is nothing wrong with the stock dxjpe. It must be something you have installed after flash that is killing it.  It's usually some taskiller app which is the problem.

I'm using dip's rom and kernel at the moment and it's good. The installation steps are on his thread's first page, at the bottom. I'm pasting it below:
Installation

(before you install make a backup of data titanium).

Standart - JQ1/ZUJP8/DXJPD/DXJPE
Custom rom - example overcome

0. (Backup app/data - titanium)

1. Install standart firmware JQ1 or ZUJP8 or DXJPD or DXJPE (here http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm)

2. Install my kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...62&postcount=2 for root and ClockworkMod Recovery.

3. Install my custom firmware (GT-P1000_DXJPE_by_DiP7_v2.2.3)
(ClockworkMod Recovery -> install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard).
Since you're already on stock DXJPD, use odin to flash dip's kernel . Download and use the TAR version ie click the "PDA" section and select the Tar file. And click Start.
To flash the rom, go into recovery mode etc.

If you don't know how to use odin app and recovery to flash kernels/roms ,you'll need to go to youtube to find some video tutorial.

Guys,can you backup the IMEI of the SGT like the SGS?
I'm asking because i want to reserve the warranty while playing with custom ROMs

Anyone?

One more thing,let's say if i follow the instruction to recover from a soft brick from here will the IMEI stay the same as original?

I have yet to read /hear about bricking cause the IMEI to go missing - these happen I know in Motorola, Motorola based phones. So far all the postings I have read of users soft bricking or hard bricking - never notice any IMEI missing issue. I could be wrong

If softbrick , you can follow my guide too ( page 1 post #5 on Upgrading firmwares and roms ) - many , many users in this forum here has revive their tab just following it. The XDA link you pointed needs you to work with samfirmware.com downloads which personally I do not encourage soft brick users to attempt unless they understand what they are doing

having some bad time with icarus again ... i think is abt time to change back stock rom ...

1. BT issue. when bt pair or connected with tab, i can't discover the device anymore.
2. Frequent No signal on GMS (can't make call) and Frequent internet connection drop. (can make call but can't connect internet). (need reboot)
3. Battery drain too fast. (this is third day already).
4. Can't update APP. can download can't install update. (need reboot)
5. Can't charge phone. (i not sure what causing it, sometime it charge but some time it won't), battery gauge show 99% but phone status show 79%.
6. Still very slow on media scan. btw i saw repeated scaning ...


Ok roll back to ori. no more custom rom for my tab.
