[Q] P7510 on ICS 4.0.4 (XWLP5): unstable WiFi - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I noticed that my P7510 running on ICS 4.0.4 (XWLP5) has an unstable WiFi connection when the received WiFi signal strength is not maximum (2 or 3 out of 4 bars). Connection often disappears and when trying to reconnect to the WiFi network manually, the there is no response. Turning off / on Wifi on my Tab is no solution to the problem either. Even a full reboot does not always help. I updated from HC 3.2 to ICS 4.0.4. after full flasing HC 3.2 first.
Is this a known issue? I cannot find any decent info on this. Or is there a ROM that fixes this? Please help. Thanks in advance.

I had no problem with the WiFi what so ever not with 4.04 and not with cm 10 jelly bean
Did you have that problem on 3.2?
Try and flash the official ICS from sammobile with odin

Thankfor replying. I did not have this issue HC 3.2. I went back to stock HC3.2 and updated via WiFi to official ICS v4.0.4. No official releases for my country for P7510 are available for my Tab, but other official ICS v4.0.4 versions I tried from Sammobile have same issue.
I'm thinking to go to CM 10 release, but since wiping is required and my P7510 has brick bug, I'm hesitating to do this operation.

Try the sammobile UK version that's what iam running and it had no problems
Cm10 is faster than official ics and gives u much more options It's a better experience at least for me except for a bug or tow but some people don't even notice them
About the brick bug I don't know what that is cause I had no problems wiping data so i can't help u their sorry

I already tried UK version from Sammobile, same WiFi issue when signal strength is not maximum. Regarding the brick bug: check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879941

I don't know what it's not working for you every thing oky with me
About the brick bug....... I just checked and as it turned out I too have the brick bug and I have actually ran EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip
I have wiped the data and installed custom roms more than I can count......i don't know maybe it's over-rated or iam just lucky!!
Iam afraid to do it again now but he says here "Avoiding brick:
The only danger now seems to bi if you are on stock ICS ROM and you execute factory/data reset in Samsung recovery.
If you are using custom ROMs and CWM you should be safe because all custom ROMs/krenels have now removed mmc_cap_erase() from list of capabilities."
Iam running a custom rom so I don't know.....

[Q] Serious Issue with the Boot Screen :( Please Help

Hello
I installed the KANG ROM found in the following thread [ROM][KANG]CM9 ICS 10.1 WiFi Preview 02/08/12 and the boot screen seems to refresh/scroll endlessly. Once the lock screen comes up (which scrolls endlessly as well), if I press the power button to turn screen off and then switch it back on, the display is stable.
I use the Korean Version SHW-M380W (Galaxy Tabl 10.1 Wifi 32GB). I tried Galaxy Task Slim 13.1 and other ICS Roms found on XDA, but the result is same.
Can someone please let me know a fix for this?
Thank you so much.

Ping...
Doesn't anyone else face this issue?
I don't think it supports the korean tab
Hmm I saw that if I restore /boot from stock image backup in HC 3.2 this issue was solved. Tried and tested it and worked fine. But when I upgrade to ICS, there is no /boot to restore from. Just tried it with the Hc 3.2 /boot and the system hanged.
Probably different ramdisks as ics kang is based of devices they own and custom via the model as the Korean tab is not part of it you may need to request or hope someone donates one to them, and if it was the official update of ics it would work but these are custom made builds based off the source ics package given by Google so it isn't an official update like HC3. 2

Thanks
Thank you for your reply.
have you tried romans?
Romans
You mean the AOKP one right? Yeah, I have tried it, but the same issue
I mean, the one from here: http://forum.aokp.co/page/releases
Build 28 to be specific. Strangely, the same (screen jumping) issue was there with CWM as well. And pershoot was kind enough to make a new CWM just for Korean tab. I wonder what changed though (Am quite a newbie to rooting and stuff, so dont really know where to go to)
The pershoots CWM which fixed a screen jumping issue for CWM (not for boot screen though) is found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360588
Thanks bro.
So its all fixed?
Oops, I missed the whole point Actually, I had tried that after the [ROM][KANG]CM9 ICS 10.1 WiFi Preview 02/08/12 version, but the issue persisted. Its only with the bootscreen that this issue exists. Once we go to the lock screen, the issues still exists, but a screen off -> screen on (using the power key) quickly restores the screen back to the non-fluctuating version.
Wait, why havent you used kang by Roman? Its already coming to 4.0.4
Build 29
Thanks Misledz: I tried out Build 29 located in the following page:
http://forum.aokp.co/page/releases
Still the problem persists
I think you need a clean wipe, like generally wipe everything off it, a factory reset and stock firmware flash, then see if it persists.
Only this solution worked for me on EU version:

Tried that but still no luck

I guess I have the same recovery. The issue is not with the scrolling recovery, but with the scrolling lock screen. Did it get fixed for you as well? Am using AOKP build 30.
Thank You!!!!

[Q] Signal problem on SGS2

Aboute a month a go i bought a galaxy s2 phone.it came with GB 2.3.4 and for a while all was well.
When the update for ICS 4.0.3 came through Kies, i decided to update. The procedure when fine but.....since then my signal has been rather poor. I get four bars ocasionaly mostly it has three. If i start the data or the wifi connections, the signal tends to drop.
I thought the official rom was rubbish so i changed it to Resurrection Remix 1.9....but the problem persists.
I'm thinking of switching back to GB, to see if that would fix my problem.
Does anybody have any ideea why this problem occured in the first place?
Thanks,
Cosmin

Chances are the different modem in the ICS rom might be causing the issues, assuming you can't pin it down to other sources I.E network issues.
Try a bunch of different modems until you find one that works; search on here/Google, they come in CWM flashable packages & take all of a minute to flash. You flash one, test it out for a bit - properly; over fair amount of time (couple of hrs) & preferably @ different locations, if it's no good you flash another one, etc, etc.
Edit to add - Given you didn't have these issues with the 2.3.4 stock rom you were using, find out which modem is in that rom & then search for a CWM flashable modem package on here & flash that one first. Might well fix your problems rather than flashing a whole rom. Yes, you can use GB modems with ICS roms & VV
Thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunately I didn't note the original rom/modem....so I have no ideea which one it was
I found on the forum that there are a couple of modems ( These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3 and KI4 )that work well so i will give them a try first.
Hopefully this will solve my problem.
I will post the results as soon as I have them.

[Q] ICS wifi Problem - P7500

Hi,
After updating my P7500 (wifi+3G model) to Stock ICS rom last week, I having a wifi drop issue.
Before upgrading to ICS, didn't have any problems with wifi connection.
Used stock ICS rom (P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_ITV) with Odin to flash.
Can anyone help me with this issue ?

[Q] [XXLSJ] Modem issue

Hi,
Sorry if my question looks noobish but I can't find anything relevant. I was running NeatRom Lite for a while without major issues except some touchwizz FCs, and decided to install the latest Omega. Now from times to times I got disconnected from the network and I can't even register on any available carrier.
1) Do you think a new modem will solve the problem ? I thought this was RIL related but the application Get RIL is only for AOSP/AOKP roms...
2) Are all modems working with XXLSJ ? The signal in France is really bad so I'd really like to change it...
Thanks in advance

Modem that comes with LSJ is LS6..I never had a problem with it. Try another modem like LQ6 .And i have used neatrom lite for weeks. But i never had a single FC, Specially with touchwiz. Are you sure you did a full wipe before installing the rom??
Ok I'll give a try to LQ6, thanks !

Which ROM to install to P7500 3g?

Hello everyone
I'm thinking to install a custom ROM to my P7500 3g but still not sure which one. I specially want to play my 720p brrip movies on my tablet. Any good roms to recommend? btw i used overcome rom like last year,the first release i think. it was good but couldnt follow the hack scene since.
If you have no special needs not covered by stock rom i would advice to stay on stock rom.
GV
Well the stock rom starts on lagging on me lately and uses too much of the ram.Plus since I havent heard of jelly bean coming to the tab 10.1, i wanted to try the custom roms.do you recommend the cm 10.1 or the overcome rom?
I have no personal experience with other Roms on my P7500 but i have tried cm10 on my other Android devices. From what i read on the xda forum i am not at all sure that another rom (ICS or JB) will improve my Tab rsponsiveness. My Tab runs currently extra smoothly with stock 3,2 HC rom, rooted and overclocked with setcpu app using Pershoot's kernel (thanks)
GV
Be very careful .. I bricked my first tab by simply putting an american rom on it by accident. When I went to factory reset from the recovery it triggered DSOD and locked the device.. A very rapid learning curve indeed!!
aaanyway....
Been on CM10.1 for a week now on my GT-P7500.. fast , buttery smooth and a pain free install....make a nandroid backup from recovery first !! do a wipe and factory reset afterwards. I love the look and feel of it now... mmmm shiny
Thanks for the reply caramel.Ok i'll install the CM 10.1 too I'm using 4.0.4 now.In Galaxy s2 the 4.0.4 has a wipe data bug, bricks the device.Does the tab has that too?

IF you've flashed a custom recovery, there's no worry with the emmc bug.
