Dear Forum users,
Recently I bought a Samsung Tab 10.1 3G (P7500), I have done the 3.2 update OTA however, the main screens are pretty rough (not smooth).
Could you please, based on your experience, tell me:
1- Which is original rom (US Verson) is the newest?
2- Which rom is the fastest (no OC)?
3- Which "cooked" room is the best, in terms of speed, smoothness and battery life?
Also...
The tab takes several hours to recharge, while it is not a MAJOR problem, is it a hardware or software problem?
And last....
Why is Samsung SOOOO slow to release ICS and/or patch Tab 10.1?
Please Help!
Try flashing the latest Overcome ROM.

Welcome to the XDA. You'll find a lot of information by simply using the "search" function. New threads complaining about the lack of "smoothness" on the stock ROM, charging speed, and Samsung's release of ICS are not in short supply around here. If you just have to complain, maybe keep it in one of those threads?
Hello!
Thank you...
Slack04, Actually I am not only complaining. I also made a few questions.
You see, I also have a Galaxy S2 phone, and the S2 thread has an original list of firmwares divided by android versions.
If funny tho, almost in every forum there are users who adopt the "maybe you shouldnt post here" style...
Please dont just read the last few lines of my post!
SaneinOne,
Thank you!! I have already tried the overcome rom. But it is missing a lot of apps, and they dont give enough instructions on how to install the missing apps.
Also I dont know what to do with the "patches"...
Lastly it is not really smooth... Maybe I should try it again and read the whole thread.
Thank you!
Just hold your breath and wait patiently for ics ... just like I have. So far all roms are pretty much little laggy on the home screen.

You titled your thread "why is it so rough?" and then complained about "roughness," charging speed, and something about how Samsung is "sooooo" slow (last one I don't even get. Which manufacturers are you comparing to?

all tab take several hours to recharge.
the 10.1 takes about 5 hours to charge from 0 to 100%
if you want to compare with the Ipad 2, it can take up to 4 hours
I don't think the difference between 4 and 5 hours can be considered as a problem.

You can't find any "official" tablet with ICS yet, (ICS on Prime is coming soon) so how can you say that Samsung is SOOOO SLOW to release it ?

Hi ,.
I'm experiencing some lag when opening the Contact or the Phone app on my SGSII.
this happens only the 1st time I open these apps, ...and only after upgrading to ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ

Any help please ?

Yup that build is not a stable release eve from Samsung. They did not even care to make it lag free. I dont think there is anything you can do about this. The release is messed up. Try using some other custom roms!

I can recommend hydrogen-ics.
Have tested many kernels on this rom and they are all very smooth.

so did ayone install this i tried but both the phone and kies say that im up to date (4.1.1 german or uk version of s3 dont know for wich country it is)
4.1.2 Update !! wow !!
Why the update is Polland first ? Why they are the country to recive update first ? I am jealous. Hope problems of Jelly Bean(4.1) fixes with this small update. The biggest problem was Battery drain issue I guess. Samsung must solve all those issues as soon as possible.
This time we are first Often we're the last
About rom, if comparing latest official stock rom&kernel this one is more smooth and battery drain isn't that bad. ~1,5h more on battery on this rom for me.
I just updated here in the States. My toggle to turn on data is now missing. Does anyone know how to toggle LTE on Jelly Bean?
Thanks for the heads up

To toggle LTE you need to have proper phone. I9300 (for which this ROM is) does not have this feature....
I recieved the OTA update for my i9300. I havent updated it yet because I am not certain if it will work flawlesly. I've been reading a lot of articles about the 4.3 update which have a lot of bugs but samsung promised to fix the issue yet I am not sure if it has been fixed for this update?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well, I updated to 4.3 a few days ago and I did not encounter any major issues. In fact, there are only two issues that I have come across so far: there's a bit of lag when you unlock the phone (almost imperceptible). And I also encountered the "Samsung push service has stopped working" which I solved by uninstalling it from Google Play and then updated it. Everything else is working just fine.
Thanks Alex but regarding the lagg thou. It lags even if you're on full power not on power saving and also about the immense battery drain issue?
Sent from my GT-i9300 using xda-developers app
You should try another kernel like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517756
This works pretty good on my device! I had the same issues as you before.
Yes, it "lags" on full power (I never turn on that power saving option). The screen turns on after a second or so after I press the home button/power button, when you swipe over the screen it works smoothly. As about battery drain, I use it very frequently so I charge it every day anyway. But yes, it seems to drain the battery a little bit more than before. I can come up with a more detailed answer about this in a few days.

Hi, if you don not like to wait for the official OTA updates, you could try Omega ROM.
The developer-team is very quick to take the latest Samsung releases and turn them into their custom ROM (including many useful features).
If you stick to the latest Omega ROMs, you always will have the latest Samsung based ROM on your phone (including the latest Samsung bugfixes). On top of that, the support in the Omega community is excellent.

Well to be honest sir I really am not fan of custom rom. I always stay on stock rom but rooted. Custom rom has a lot of issues on the default app. Most common are wifi, bluetooth, gps and a lot more so I always stay on rooted stock. This is just my opinion no offense intended.

Maybe you need to read a bit more on the Android development forums and find out the difference between types of custom roms .
Been running custom roms for years and never had those sort of problems .
Plenty of info on the board regarding 4.3 OTA .

Well I always read and ask for other's opinion before doing something on my phone. I dont want to have any bad experience since that I spend most of my time with my beloved phone. Now when I read out bug reports on the custom firmwares that was offered those are the common issues it might be a case to case basis but I dont want to take chances.

There are a lot of awesome custom ROMs out there, like WanamLite and Neatrom. These guys stick to the stock as much as possible, I have never seen them port things from other devices. IMO, problems occur when you start porting apps and functions or launchers from other devices. However, the XXUGML2 or XXUGML4 updates from Samsung work flawlessly. I am running ML4 on my device with ML4 kernel and MK6 modem and it is awesome.
Yes ML4 is stable.

Hi, no offense taken. I just wanted to share my experience. OMEGA is close to the stock ROM and if there were any bugs, they mostly came from the Samsung stock ROM. The difference is the update frequency. While it takes ages to get an OTA for your specific region / provider, most custom ROM developers take the latest release published by Samsung regardless of region and provider. Meaning, you will always get the latest and greatest.
Upgraded to official 4.3 UK release, from an unmodded 4.2.2, and it's awful.
Lock ups, freezes, flickering screen, bluetooth failure and spontaneous reboots.
Undoubtedly the buggiest version of any mobile OS I ever had on anything.
My advice: Stay away from this piece of **** until the many bugs have been ironed out.
And to think that we're only getting 4.3 when really it should have been 4.4 straight away.
Shame on you, Sony!

You could flash a custom ROM? I use pacman 4.3 or go with cm10.1 (4.2.2) or CM 10.2 (4.4.2 Kitkat)
I recommend the pacman. Has more tweaks and GPS works. Official cm GPS is not working but everything else does and both ROMs are very stable.
Can someone explain to me what the advantages of using stock fw on this device? I was pretty sure that there weren't any.

Just a corection.cm11 is android 4.4.2 and on latest nightly gps works.about the advantage of using stock fw i have a feeling that the battery is a bit better but i dont really know as i dont have stock fw since 4.1.2.how is your battery on cm11?
I tend to agree that it is probably a bad flash... I think the 4.3 update is the best yet for the Tab Z. Performance is up by atleast 2k points in Antutu and even daily use seems much smoother. No crashes or lockups till now and I've been using the tab non-stop since the update (without any kind of restart).

Have you done a factory reset after upgrade to 4.3 ?
I also had issues after upgrading, byt a friendly user here told me to try a factory reset - since that the only issue I have is random flickering when keyboard is active, everything else works like a dream
4.3 is Solid Stable and Smooth, don't have any single issue as mention by OP.
Complete reset on the device seems to have fixed the problems. Wasn't even able to back up with Sony Companion.
Happy for now (after a couple of hours or re-installing and re-configuring), but it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

I'm using pacrom now which is jb 4.3.battery is very good! I'll do a full battery drain and will post results sometime next week. I use greenify which im sure helps and use boot manager. This ROM also has a number of power saving options you can implement not found on cm ROMs under the pacrom settings. Its my daily driver. i really like this tablet! Took it snorkling today in Barbados, it doesn't float to well, luckly I still have it!:laugh: had it out all day taking photos in the ocean, screen full brightness, was 70% when I got home. That's with No Bluetooth or WiFi. This ROM does a great job too of retaining juice when its in a suspend state. Very little drain

I have only 2 reboots playing n.o.v.a. 3 everything else is simply perfectly
My experience is that 4.3 blows, just as OP stated.
I did the initial update - lots of crashes/freezes.
So I did a repair - same issue
Then re-flashed using flashtool - still bad
And then flashed 4.2.2 - and tablet is back to its former glory.
What could possibly be causing some users to be having such a hard time with it, while others are loving it?
So strange how this has been happening. There must be something with some of the firmwares. I'm one of the people who have had no issue with 4.3

Installing a new Operation System on a old one, can cause problems and instability. That`s not Android or Sony specific.
The only issue I have experienced is the random screen flicker when using the keyboard... Hope there is a fix soon, or else I may have to look into whether there is a way to downgrade to 4.2.2.
New to the device, so not sure is there is a Sony equivalent to something like Odin for Samsung...

4.3 woes
I had problems with the 4.3 ota upate. Had screen flickering, especially bad when running chrome browser. and the pulldown notification shade was down and dimmed the back screen
random reboots, freezing. tablet was practically unuseable.
flashed my original firmware back over and all was working great again.
tried again with 4.3 and back to the same antics with it.
I have however reflashed a modified 4.3 with super user root and recovery built in and can say ive had no problems appart from occasional excessive battery drain from the kernel, a reboot usual fixes it.
Could it be the UK ftf that's more.buggy? I'm using Nordic and no issues on my end
