Let me start by saying, i'm running stock untouched, unrooted, i turned it on and installed apps from the market, version of Gt10.1. It is the 32Gb version and came with 3.1 on it.
I've had my Gt10.1 for almost a week now and I must say that I'm stunned at the frequency of FC errors from various apps. I mean even my "Samsung Account" force closes after each restart.
Anyone else noticed that the screen isn't calibrated correctly. Seems I have to touch to the right of what I intend to select. This is particularly noticeable when selecting text in the browser or in text editors such as this app.
Should I reset to factory?
A lot of apps that work just find on my Epic4G are unstable or not available ... like where is facebook???? And how come nearly every game is either buggy or not available... EA games are just unsupported?
Is there a place anywhere that filters the marketplace by supported os version ? I.e. what is proven to work on HC 3.1

Facebook has been pulled from the tablet market for a while.
The samsung force close is on every tablet I think after reboot
I'd try resetting and see if that helps with the force closes and the screen inaccuracy. Maybe try not loading every app you had before. If that doesn't work, take it back to where you bought it and see if you can get an exchange.
Yeah its disgracefull that samsung have released the tab with so many bugs. Im writing this now on my tab and the text cant even keep up with my typing...the whole gt 10.1 is an unpleasant experience, the amount of force closes is staggering and unaceptable. theres no filterin the market to show only tab apps, it gives off a high pitch noise after every selection from the speakers, theres no predictive text input, the video play back its utter crap,why dont the home buttons auto hide to give more screen space, reading books is awfull due to each page being out of focus for a split second before being displayed properly. Theres people with dust under the screen, oh and the batteru life is in my opinion well below stated. and last but definately not least yeah it does flash in websites but not 100% some sites work and some are awfull,,,,

I feel for u. I've resolved the laggy keyboard by sticking with either the Android keyboard or Thumb keyboard. Both perform excellently. My experience has been that hidden home buttons seem to be a per app behavior. Example. Kindle app does it beautifully. I also have not experienced the out of focus issue. The video / screen rendering is unparalleled. Ive only experienced poor battery stats when I'm streaming from a weak wifi connection.. like being tethered to my phone running 3g 3bars or less.

-There is a problem with the way the stock browser handles text selection in web fields, it's probably related to some of the JavaScript problems the browser has. Until it gets patched a workaround is to use the Opera web browser.
-There are a few lists that people have compiled of HC optimized apps and games: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032381
@richie_jones:
-Turn off audible selection under settings>sound
-The default Samsung keyboard has XT9 predictive text, but you have to go into settings to enable it first. There are also numerous alternative keyboards to use if you don't like that keyboard.
-Video playback is very good on the tab. But like every tablet on the market you should convert your video to mp4 first for optimum results, or use an alternate video player such as MoboPlayer, Rock Player, Vplayer etc. If you don't know how to covert video files then check this thread for some simple instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

Yeah I believe the samsung force close is caused by an authentication issue on the samsung account. I looked in log with aLogCat after a force close (they always come at boot and always twice) and there was an exception logged from the samsung account app.
This happens when connected to a wifi network and also when not connected. Whatever causes it to bw unable to authenticate, the Samsung Account app certainly doesnt handle that condition well.
And finally, you think Samsung would have caught this one....
I took my Tab 10.1 back and got a Tab 7" instead. Honeycomb has a long way to go really, and all the issues the OP had I can attest to. Hardware was nice, slim and tight but given the software issues I couldn't justify the $500 tag when a 7" tab was going for $200 brand new. Very happy with my decision.

I reset to default and everything works perfectly now... the text SLOWNESS is limited to the default browser app.. I use either Opera or Dolphin now.
My only gripe now is with Samsungs advertisement or shall I say FALSE advertisement... this is not the tab they advertise. It does not have touchwiz, mini apps or Media Hub support

So you have no lag on the home screens when scrolling from one to the other, you have no typing lag on google browser. I don't think so....
Smooth it definitely is not"..."
no lag with he screens. Keyboard lag yes. Otherwise its running nice. It is a leaked tw rom that has been modified. I expect a custom rom based on the official release in a couple days.
Hey guys. I believe that the os21 update has a bad memory leak/background processing management(besides a kernal issue). When playing heavy 3d games like Nova 3 or Sonic, the framerates are really slow or stutter a lot until the games force-close. Well, for the past 2 days, I have not had this issue, both Nova 3 and Sonic play with no stuttering at all, and I have not experienced any more game crashes. My browser also seems much smoother. Please try the two fix options listed below, while noting that the 2nd option seems to work best with mass Efeect, and less "strict" on runnig processes than the first option:
Fix #1- What I did was push the soft reset button on the Prime (using a small paperclip), then waited for the Prime to reboot. Once it rebooted, DO NOT let the Prime load up anything, just immediately go into settings, developer options, select the kill all activities option, then for background processes, select "at most 1 process only" Delete all of your running task managers/task widgets an that's it. Now all of my games run, no crashes, and the framerates for Nova 3 and Sonic is MUCH better.
Fix# 2 - For those still having issues with Mass Effect, this alternate setting will definitely fix the problem. After soft rebooting, go into development settings, and then for background processes, select "at most 1 process only" and DO NOT select kill all processes after leaving them. This setting has been confirmed to fix the Mass Effect issue, as well as all other games while still keeping the Prime running a lot smoother.
Please try using the exact instructions that I have posted, and let me know if this works for you guys. If so, then it proves that the os21 has a memory management issue which is causing all the current issues we are having.
Also, I would like to share this post from Jaycustom, whom has also been using this method for a few days now and enjoying it more than myself lol. He ran a CPU test to test the differences before and after my fix. See his results below:
Default settings said I had about 19 user/ 29 system processes running.
Dev settings gave me 14 user/ 11 system processes running.
Default settings for system memory 600+mb used/300+ free
Dev settings for system memory 300+ used/600+ free
The memory usage was pretty much exactly reversed! So I assume this is where most, but not all, of the performance boost comes from. CPU usage was also lower, not by much though.
See the video that I made (link below)showing me using the default browser, which is now really fast and stable using this method. I also ran Mass Effect 3 and Nova 3 to show that I have no issues playing these games anymore. I used a Samsung Galaxy tab to record, so please re-frame from laughing at the quality of the vid lol! If you guys would like me to try more games/apps, please let me know.

Sorry to hear that it didnt work for you, but it seems to have resolved the issue for me entirely. I am not exeriencing any more gam crashes or white flashing screens. Are you sure that you followed the stes listed? Waiting for others to rely, but either my Prime just decided to play all my games correctly, or this is "fix" is working for me.
This is not an acceptable fix, it is only a workaround.

I'll have to try this out tonight. To clarify, when you say "do not let it load up anything", do you just mean go into the settings as soon as possible and kill things? It must start running services as soon as it boots, no? I guess this just minimizes the "damage"?
Hi, I've just tried this and it doesn't seem to have had much of an effect I'm afraid.
In the last 10 mins I've still had two spontaneous browser shutdowns, plus crappy streaming video playback from sites such as bbc iplayer.
The pages seem to load a little faster and scrolling may be a touch smoother but thats about it the best I can say.
This solution works well for me. I have been doing this for some time, except I have limited the processes to three. Limiting it to one seems to improve it even better. Widgets seem also to be a drain on the resources and limiting those works well for me. Much thanks for the post.
You might also try this solution from here post #118 :

It seems to have worked for me, I've only had one reboot since. It's at least worth a try. Good luck.

yes exactly.. this is the way it worked for me. Just immediately go into setting, and select the options that i listed. This will only allow the essential programs to run. Please let me know if this works for you. Also, switch the prime to performance for graphic heavy games. Still testing this, but so far I have not have any crashes since applying.

Thanks for confirm this. Yes, my Prime is no longer lagging when browsing or crashing during gameplay..the difference is honestly night and day. Just confirms for me that .21 is not handling the background processes, or closing them correctly.

you shouldn't have to factory reset, that would suck
Can you try the soft reset option again? Once it's done, update the setting as listed and try the Prime on performance mode. If that doesn't help, then you may have a bad app which is hogging on your resources and causing the slowdown/crashes.
This procedure also seems to improve on the strength of the Wi-Fi signal. At least on mine it does.

Maybe it's just because the Prime is loading pages a lot faster because there aren't so many things running in the background now. it would be cool though if this also fixed wifi, maybe someone should do a speed test for before and after the fix?
I just tried the default browser again. It does not lag/stutter when scrolling through the pages anywhere near like it used to. it's not as smooth as opera mini, but it's a LOT better than before. Still no game crashes at all since doing this. I can post vids for anyone who would like to see proof after work.

I was gonna do one anyway, just to start from scratch with a blank slate and get it set up how I want it!
After resetting, and before any apps are downloaded the browser is working much much better once the settings you recommend are applied. Loading and scrolling is faster and there have been no force closes or video hangups.
Cheers, I look forward to this .28 update but thats helped me out a lot in the meantime!

Great to hear! yes, my Prime seems much quicker with touch inputs, scrolling, gaming and web browsing. Must of been a bad memory issue along with the kernel for .21.
just did this ans seems to work very well. i was getting around 12-15mbs and now im getting 32mbs in the garage with only 1 bar. im very happy with that. thanks for sharing.
Hi,
I'm experiencing severe problems with 3D-video-playback since I updated to ICS last week: They no longer play fluently.
It happens with ALL 3D-videos. Even the ones recorded with the device (BTW: Playback on a PC is still OK. So the camcorder itself is still working correctly).
Once I switch the videos into 2D-mode, everything plays fluently again (even 1080p videos streamed over network).
A complete reset didn't help either (but at least the calendar works again!
I guess there is no hardware defect and I'm not asking for a fix here. I was just wondering if someone else experiences the same problems.
My device: EVO3D GSM unbranded, larger 2048-2nd sensor
PS:
The LG 3D would have been the better choice!
The Evo's 3D-photo-quality is just unbelievably bad. And video-recording in real life does ALWAYS suffer from sudden FPS-drops. Not only in dark scenes, but also with fast motion and flashing-lightsources. The firmware seems to be total crap. I'll probably not buy a HTC phone again.
It already wasted a lot of my time just because it does not work very well. I even started to write my own native-camcorder app (but hoped ICS would fix most problems). I hate apple, but at least their phones work.
Yea.ics has ruined 3d vdo playback.its not really choppy.bt there is micro stuttering which takes the fun out of it.yea should have gone for lg.my fon suffers from light leakage and dust inside screen.and where i live there is no warranty on htc phones.so pretty scrwed i guess.since the ics update as the 3d playback has gone bad i now really regret buyin it.

Thanks for the quick reponse/confirm.
It was more helpful than the reply from HTC (just contacted them for fun... didn't expect something useful as long as I don't get the lucky chance to meet that developer in taiwan who obviously screwed it up
Hope they port Android 4.1 soon.

Try installing something like 'system tuner' from the market and set the governor to 'performance' or/and setting the second core to 'always on'

haven't rooted the device yet.
anyways: playback of 3D-1080-videos in 2D-splitscreen works. So it's not a CPU/GPU-performance problem.
They must have done something wrong with the split + sync of the source-material...
Damn, thought it was just a setting I'd messed with and would eventually find. Please keep us up to date if you find a fix...
Ha thought it was me can't play any mp4 vids even on ms player I'm in chubbz boost ics data speeds are crazy good but Ive had some camera problems and now can't do any video playback... I'm goin back to 2.17 based gb
I thought it was a flash isssue so of course wiped and flashed even changed from 4 ext recovery back to Twrp touch still nothing waiting for this gb Rom to finish going back to synergy
Try installing an app called SD speed booster. Then set the read ahead speed to 2048 or 3072 and see if that helps. If any of you guys have system tuner its an option in the tweaks settings. Also select apply on boot. Hopefully that will help. Let me know if it does. Also you have to be rooted to use both apps.

Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda app-developers app
I tried some other players and now I'm sure there is something wrong with the HW-decoder (since 4.0.3!)
All HW-players show the same behaviour:
- 2D-splitscreen playback @ 30fps = OK (e.g. with that chinese 3dvplayer)
- Switch to 3D => Drop to ~15fps
And sadly there is no software-player that is capable of 720p-playback. The FFMPEG guys should really invest more time in GPU and NEON-ASM ;-)
The bottleneck must lie somewhere between the decoder and the display-driver.

Tried the 4EXTRecovery app to flash Superuser, it seems to require a root access... Whats up with that, isn't it supposed to BE for rooting?
Tried installing Superuser from the apk which seemed to work, but the pref I needed didn't show up (something to do with tuning/syncing USB?).
Any instructions for an easy method (or complicated, as long as it WORKS!) please, stock ICS.

If you have 4ext recovery installed just install superuser from the actual recovery. boot vol-down+power, select fastboot then recovery.
If you have standard htc recovery you'll have htc unlock and use the fastboot command from your pc ... from dos prompt type 'fastboot boot recovery.img' (have custom recovery.img in the same directory as your running the command promt from)

Hmm, 4ext didn't work for me, but hearing of HTC recovery led me here - how-to-root-evo-3d - from where I sort of managed it. Anyone else trying it, you won't need HTC's entire SDK zip, all neccesary files are in the one from that link. Also, pay close attention to the comment from a user about step 18 - the ...shooter.img needs to be ...shooteru.img from here - shooteru.img.
So I appear to be rooted now, only there's not much I can do as I appear to have lost my internet settings - I get 'Limited Service' on startup, and no connection at all (I have no Wifi).

That's good news, I'm about to get a class 10 card.
My connection problem is sorted too, turns out Tesco's service chose the exact moment I rooted my device to go down. Imagine the odds of that! You wouldn't believe the time / data / hair I lost trying to figure it out, and potentially dangerous things I did to my poor lil Evo!
Hi,
I'm new to this phone and getting the same choppy 3D video playback problem on my ICS 4.0.3 EVO3D too. Been a year, so did you guys ever get a solution to this issue or is it still with us? I tested with a class 10 card already and made no difference to choppy 3D video playback. (besides I think cautious911's class 10 card solution is for an entirely different problem of not being able to play back "any" video rather that the issue of the thread title relating to "Choppy 3D-video-playback")
Thanks in advance for any feedback you have on choppy 3D video playback.

If anyone on the EVO3D with stock 4.0.3 who can report they can playback 3D video recorded by the phone itself or 720p 3D downloaded video from youtube (via tubeMate app) and view it without dropped frames I'd be very interested to hear it.
So from the lack of replies, I have to presume everyone with an EVO3D on stock ICS4.0.3 suffers from choppy 3D video playback.
That blows...

When I first bought the Galaxy tab 10.1, I believe it was on honeycomb. I usually use it for youtube and games. Once I updated it to ice cream sandwich, whenever i watched youtube videos it always lags and never runs smoothly like it used to. I tried fixing it by factory resetting it but it would still constantly lag. Would downgrading back to honeycomb ?

By the way, rooting and installing custom roms don't help at all. I've tried multiple custom roms including cm9, cm10, aokp, and others and they all have youtube lag. This is the ONLY problem I have with gtab 10.1 and hope there is a way to fix this somehow.....

Try watching this video from youtube on your galaxy tab 10.1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSb5ZSnn2qs
Videos like this (concerts) lag horribly especially.
I'm also on Fourth Bar Revolution ICS, and I tried both Yoda's and A1 Kernel and still have this lag.
Please let us know if the video above lags on yours too..
Thanks!

Ok, I have tried this video and there is no lag on my device. Played in the App and in the Dolphin browser in both SD and HD, though in HD the video paused a few times due to it buffering as my internet connection is only 1.8mb/s
I wiped my device completely (wiped data/cache/dalvik) using CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 to install my roms. I was previously on Tasks650 ICS Rom. Used Titanium backup only to restore apps and app data, not system data. Also using SetCPU to processor to 200/1200Mhz with the governor set to interactive. All settings are default in the Yoda 2.4 Kernel/Fourth Bar Revolution rom except for having Force GPU rendering enabled.
I've pretty much gotten rid of lag on my tab.
Im on a jb cm based rom
I have it overclocked to 1.6(a1 kernel) and have a governer that will get to that speed fast
Have force 2d gpu rendering unchecked
And now it will only lag if I bring up the notification bar or tap on the video.

Are you sure? Could you guys try that video above on your tablet AND your computer to compare if there DEFINITELY is no lag? No offence, but some people don't notice stutters and lags as much as some other people because not everyone is the same. iPad users are keen to smoothness of course so if there is a SLIGHT lag, they notice, but some people (not all) who have been using Android only for years don't notice as much. I don't know about you guys, so if you do think you are very keen on smoothness, please do tell me and I will try your setups for my galaxy tab (as I just finished restoring everything on mine and set up perfect so that I don't want to do it all over again, and also sometimes the CWM backup doesn't work properly for me).
Also, I thought overclocking to 1.6ghz would drain the battery really fast, no? I've never overclocked my tablet above 1.4ghz.
Thanks.

Looks the same on my tab, my phone(droid DNA, hi specs), and my laptop.
And my tab lasts 2 days with 4-6 hours on screen time.

I didn't have the same experience. HD stutters regardless of clock settings. And it's not the connection; I've seen it do this on a 30mbps down connection.

Same for me I believe. I've tried every single configuration I could (almost every single ICS and JB rome w/ A1 or Yoda's kernel w/ over clock w/ changing developer setting) but I ALWAYS have the lag if I use the test video I mentioned above..
One thing that's very odd is that MOVIE TRAILERS on Youtube app do not stutter or lag AT ALL. They are PERFECTLY smooth in HD. Also when you access the movie trailers from Google Play store's movie section, they are all SMOOTH as well. But other videos still have lag (how much lag depends on videos) if I go back to those..
Maybe someone can figure out a cause of this problem from above?
many thanks for your response, experience and test.
I am happy because I am not alone, with same problem to youtube HD stutter and lagly.
But after your all reply for now isn't possible to find a good and reliable solution.
You thinks is a bug to ICS and youtube ?
Thank you

I tried it again on both Tab 10.1 and 2 laptops (windows7 and Ubuntu), no lag in either app or browser. Did you factory reset and wipe all cache and data before installing the roms and kernels? Tried it with Dolphin browser? You could try it with a fresh rom install without restoreing any data, perhaps? Other than that I don't know what else to suggest.

Thanks for your help.
I have always wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and battery stat before installing any rom, but do you also do SD card partition or something to wipe your storage as well? I've never wiped my storage since Honeycomb.
I'm not sure if that's going to help or not..and not sure what is the best way to do this..
Thanks.

Hey guys,
I got some news. Below is an email from Samsung which was to reply to my complaint. The conversation starts from the very bottom. If you want to know just the results, then read the message right below this.

Hello,
I emailed Samsung few days ago, and they replied, but he completely misunderstood my problem please read the email messages below. Thanks.
I dont know why you understood my problem as Adobe Flash problem.
IT IS NOT.
Im talking about HTML5 videos, in the official YouTube APP, and Netflix App. And also MOBILE YouTube website in the browser.
I dont care about Flash. I dont want it at all.
I want these mobile videos (HTML5) to be working as expected, just like it used to be in Honeycomb.
Please dont say that its a hardware limitation, as my crappy Chinese single core tablet with ICS plays HD YouTube videos without any problem. And please dont say that its the problem with the app, as its not just YouTube app. The lag/stutter also happens in Netflix and TED.
Please send this to the software department and other departments as well, as many people are having this problem. Just read the links I included in my previous message. There are 5 forum threads and counting.
I believe in Samsung.
Thanks,
****

Dear ****,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
We understand that you have an issue with flash videos on your TAB.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August. ............................................

Hi,
First of all, I couldn't find VIDEO section while choosing symptoms on this webpage, so I had to choose this one. This problem is actually a VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE. Please forward this to the correct department for me.
So since Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android 4.0 update, YouTube HD and Netflix HD videos have been lagging and stuttering really bad, especially music concert videos or game videos like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2YJggBVdeI
Some videos play fine, but most of them lag and stutter a lot and are choppy. I'm talking about HD ones.
Please check out these forum threads so that you will know a LOT of users are having this problem, and it's NOT a matter of factory resetting.

Note that one of the links is for Galaxy Tab 8.9, as it is basically the same except for the screen size.
Please see all the links, and see that many people are having this issue of video playback after ICS upgrade. It's not a hardware limitation. In Honeycomb, they played fine. And not to mention, a Chinese junk ICS tablet I have has a single core processor and it plays same videos perfectly smooth.
PLEASE let other people at Samsung know this problem, and PLEASE, PLEASE release a small update that fixes this problem. I'm NOT asking for a Jelly bean update or any other future Android version updates. I'm asking for a bug fix that's very important.
Please consider it.
Thank you so much,

@ sw6lee : thanks for your update. I very interesting future response to Samsung.

I have a Galaxy S Relay 4g (SGH-T699). I notice that sometimes, when I try launching an app, it takes the phone a brief pause to launch the program. Google Drive is an example, but something as simple as making a call reproduces a very noticeable pause which is annoying to say the least.
I don't have many programs running simultaneously, and I try to keep my phone clear of unnecessary apps. I'm running Android version 4.1.2.
Will rooting help with this?
Thanks.

Yes it would be faster when rooted. You could overclock your CPU. I have found that the ROM Kaos Droid increases performance. There are other ROMs that are built for speed, like Commotio. You could build your own ROM. too. Also, There are some things you can do to speed your phone up without rooting. Keep webpages closed when not using them, Task Manager by Rhythm Software helps a bit too, and you should reboot your phone about once a day also.

Yes root will help, you can then use tools to overclock your device also you can use mods and tweaks to increase performance. In case of overclocking you will need to have a kernel which supports changing of clock freq also some mods and tweaks will need int.d support which is not included in all the kernels.
Hey guys, thanks for the response, where can I go to get started with rooting? Do you have a link?
Thanks for your help! :victory:

I think there is a separate thread for your device, you will find all the information you need there. Use the device search option in the forum.
