I just found out that I was unable to charge my TAB using my other USB charger ( non Samsung) and through the external Yoobao battery pack. I suspect it was due to the official Gingerbread JPE version
So I reinstall back Overcome 1.6.4 - problem settled

Hi all,

I just got the tab ( 2nd hand) failed to upgrade firmware 2.3 via Kies many times.  Just went to Samsung service center in PJ and in less than 1 hour they upgraded it to 2.3.

Anyway it works well on wifi, but when i insert my Digi Bband Sim, the mobile network doesnt seem to connect.  All the settings look alright.  What else can be wrong?  Can see full bar service and digi appears on home screen yet i can't surf.

thanks in advance

Hi guys like i mentioned earlier, my DiGi Smart Plan is crappy. The data connection is not stable, AT ALL.

Looks like quite a number of users facing/faced similar problem.

Which telco should i use. Or should i ask which telco provides better data connection stability? Celcom Maxis or UMobile?

Thanks!
*
If you ask me, I drop Maxis 5 years ago, and Celcom few month ago. Now all my lines ( including my family) all on DIGI - cheap and superb coverage. Previously, Digi EDGE download speeds even better than Celcom 3G ; now with 3G available at my place is even better - reason why now I drop Celcom after 10 years
No regrets - with a smartplan RM 68 ( 3GB) - my phone bill rarely hit RM80. On Celcom - same data limit - I need pay RM 98 + compulsory RM 50 ( for calls,sms )

If you are at KL - consider YES ; get the dongle - for RM30/month - superb and very fast : 3 to 8 times faster than the fastest 3G you can have. When I am in KL - i always bring my YES huddle along. Even at my place with weaker signals - i can get download speeds up to 3X faster than the fastest 3G of Celcom/Digi

Dear all, I need some advice.

Previously when I was in KL, using my galaxy tab, my phone could last me up to 12 hours, with 3G on n some facebooks, twitter, eBooks, emails and web surfing.

When I came to KK for 2 weeks, my battery life seems to have gone mad. It empties after a full night charge in 3 hours.

Could I have accidentally damaged my battery? Some friends told me because I go to those mountain areas so my phone will attempt to search for signal making the battery die faster and stuff.

or could it be a software problem? please advice! tq in advance all.
*
There are complains all over the world incluing at least 5-6 users here about sudden battry degradation. In all cases the battery was replaced foc.Apparently there ar some bad batches of the battery.

Uncle benny, my tab still showing weak signal, only showed gprs. I alreay flash with JPZ n JMF modem. Is there any guide to flash t mobile version tab to suite with malaysian telco setting other than flash it with jpz/jmf modem. Fyi, it will only shows hspda or 3g if the area signal very strong. If i located where 3g signal is slow, it will show gprs, but when i change the simcard to my htc tp, it will show 3g.

Thanks in advanced.

what should i do???T_T

Try this if Daniel suggestion cannot work
You can revive your Tab but not using your previous rom. Your Tab is still in downloadable mode
Press power switch to reboot it to exactly the condition you have shown. Connect Tab to PC and launch Odin

Refer page 1 on roms section post#5 Upgrading firmware and roms: use odin and reflash with Rotohammer JME , After successful boot, patch bootloader and flash the rom you wish. All links in post#5
And remember NEVER disconnect cable - why did you do it ?? Be patient, depending on what rom you flash, it an take up to 10-15 minutes for successful reboot after flash. Don't be too worried if you see screen stuck on galaxy logo

You cannot use SOC or Z4root for Gingerbread - these only for Froyo roms
For GB use Chainfire root JQ1: refer post#4 Q25 or just refer totorial from:
