Hi All,
I am very new to galaxy tab.
I am running on official gingerbread, flashed following the guidelines on the site. Other than a checksum error it went smoothly and working just fine.
I have another problem though. When I hold it in portrait mode, trying to move up and down with my finger causes the screen to shake.
Somerimes more sonetines a little less but it is always there.
In landscaepe mode it almost does not exist, working smooth.
I tried doing a lot of search but could.not find anything on it.
unfortunately I did not pay attenrion if it was hapening on stock froyo, did not stay on that long enough.
Charging or not does not affect it.
Being suspicious about screen protector I rwmoved it but no change
Did anyone else experience anyrhing similar?
Thanks in advance for help.
Same problem here
Hi, I have the same problem here, I did woked on froyo for about a day or two, and the problem was not there, I upgraded to Overcome 2.0 and the problem is now there.
Similar to you, on landscape the problem is less evident, but still there.
In my case, on you-tube application, I don't have any shacking.
I hope someone finds a solution, problem seems to be software-based.
I just checked it, you are right, youtube does not present the same problem.
Lets hope for a solution from the experts.
Cheers
anyone?
this shaking is driving me nuts......the screen shakes so much when held down down that it pretty much renders google maps unuseable.
HELP PLEASE!!!
is it a screen sensitivity issue that we can tweak or something?
i've been googling for a month for answers now but no luck...
please please...

Hi guys, there is a similar topic here in XDA:

I have the same problem in my Galaxy Tab, and I show in a page in fgfaria.com
I now suspect it may be a deffect in some specific feature in some library used by some apps and not used in other apps.
I installed Android SDK in my PC, and created an simple app following a tutorial, with a list of countries that can be scrolled up and down. In this very simple app, the problem doesn't happen, just like youtube.
I've found an app that could potentially solve the problem, but my GT is not rooted, and can't use it. It's called "ILITEK Touch Utility" and it's available for free in Android Market.
Let me know if it's useful for any of you.

My tab does exactly the same thing as per your weblink.
The app i have download but once i hit the calibrate button, I somehow get denied access.
Any way around it? This shaking is getting old......sigh
Software, not hardware
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Chris, I believe the denied access is because the GT is not rooted. The app must need access to pretty low level adjustments, and only rooting the device would make that possible.
I have the same messages in my GT, but rooting is kind of my last option to solve this.
My current options are:
1) Wait for an official Gingerbread update
2) If that doesn't solve, I'll contact my factory warranty
3) If they deny this is a problem, or if they can't fix it, I'll try rooting and using this app
While the first option is not available, I'll continue my search for another fix.
Cheers,
Fabio

Another possible explanation for the problem not happening in the app from the tutorial is that libraries being used include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...
mine shakes but not noticable,.. i didn't notice this on froyo
Hi,
Thank you all for responses. I have been searching too but did not find anything.
However I have a theory.
The screen shaking phenomenon does not happen (or unnoticably little) when you are on a dark screen. Web browser included.
Is this your observation too?
Cheers
mine do shake even if its dark, originally i found this "bug" couple of days ago, when im in bed late at night, i initially thought that the shaking was via my finger, and was surprised to see this post a while ago
Note: My tab is rooted because I'm currently running the Overcome 2.0 RC1 rom.
*major headache *
Fully agree! Mine shakes only in light background! Same problem, but in this case, it looks more like a hardware issue than software (intuitively, at least, hardware is more likely to be affected by screen luminosity than software). The solution though, could be a software filter of fast screen movements...
Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...
Hi everyone,
Is the same problem happening in the new 2.3.3 asia roms?
Do you have any experience?
Cheers.

Anyone found a solution yet?
I will be receiving my new device today and I am having a bit of a dilemma. For the first time, I am considering running my device stock un-rooted as I really like to have the skygo app which will only function on an un-rooted device. The problem is, I know the 3 dot menu will really do my head in.
I am coming from the hox + were this menu can be disabled without root so, firstly, could somebody tell me how prevailent this is at present? Are there still a lot of apps with this problem?
The ideal solution for me would be to have skygo working on a rooted device but I have searched and searched and have not been able to find a solution for this. Is there one?
Also, perhaps a noob question, is it possible to root the device, remove the 3 dot menu then un-root it and still have this modification on place?
Any observations and help would be grately appreciated.
This is also the main reason I rooted. There are still a LOT of apps with the 3 dot menu and it is unbelievably annoying to see that black bar so often. I don't know why htc didn't just leave the option to long press back for menu in the stock Rom.
Sent from my HTC One using xda-developers app
Yes, the 3 dot menu is there for many apps. Yes, it is annoying. However, seeing as the screen is an decent size and I have always had the 3 dots since owning the phone, I am used to it now, it doesn't bug me all that much.
Also, I think there is a decent chance this will be fixed when htc send out an update.
Sky go just recently updated to include working on the HTC one, who knows how long it will last.... Which is why I would say to stick with Unrooted for now if you are a sky go user

Since you already have a HOX+, enable the on screen menu & check the apps you frequently use if they are updated & don't need the menu button anymore. This way you will know if it will bother you or not.
Root the stock rom on your device, disable 3 dot menu, remove the Superuser binaries, install SkyGo. Works a treat!

If someone would like to confirm this as working....
I'd be more than happy with such a solution.
Where I put "Works A Treat" it should read "Should work a treat". I haven't tested it on this device but I had a similar problem getting SkyGo to work on my Nexus 10. I had to root first, edit the build.prop to think it's a different device and then unroot. Worked perfectly.

Im keen to get SkyGo working as well so I will flash back to stock and test. Will report back in half hour or so.

Well it kind of worked. You no longer get the doesnt work on a rooted device message however you do get the Unsupported Device message. This is because SkyGo doesnt officially support the One yet. A news report I just read suggests that Sky are increasing there supported devices next week to include the One and the S4.
I would suggest waiting until SkyGo is updated next week and then try the above method.
Nope, sky go now does officially get support for htc one. I downloaded it yesterday, it mentions this phone in the most recent updates. And I tried it out for a few seconds, streamed countdown fine.
Just to confirm I am on an Unrooted htc one.

I'll probably be told off for this and accused of not searching first, I have and still can't find an answer.
No matter how many times and what file management app I use I'm being asked what app to open say flac, mp3 etc....
I've got my music app and that's what I want to use, nothing else and that goes for all my other files as well.
Is there a reliable method that my phone and tablet will remember allowing me to dedicate an app to each particular file.
Please don't advise for me to clear defaults as I do this then the next day or after a reboot I'm being asked again.
It's a lovely option being asked but it just goes too far, surely once I choose that should be it, period.
Regards,
tj
ps. If this is a common issue can someone steer me to relevant threads as searching has found me very little information.

I'm no expert in this but i suspect you need to tell each file type what YOU want IT to do and it should remember.
Unless you have conflicts going on.
I uninstall **** if it starts causing problems like this.

You can dubbleclick/tap the app you want as default when the dialog pops up.
That should work, if youre asking what i think youre asking.
Peace.
It seems fragile remebering my choice
Thanks for the replies.
I've always been aware of how to apply a permanent app to open a particular file but it seems pretty fragile. Within weeks I'm being asked again, the phone has always done this since new some 18 months ago.
Just wondered if there was a way to really make my choice permanent. This has all become a bit of a saga for me as recently purchased a Corsair Voyager Air 1TB wifi hard drive.
All my music has been converted to flac and put on this drive, I'm apparently able to select my music playing app in preference to the built in Corsair app but when I try the screen flashes and fails. I know this could be all sorts causing this but thought if I could tell my Note to only use a particular app to open say flac files that would solve the problem.
Or has anyone else got this type of set up that might know of an alternative app that can connect to the drive via it's wifi signal and then open the music playing rather that trying to download.
Or
Could I work with Tasker to correct the problem of not being able to play my music through my preffered app rather than being forced to use the in app player.

every since I found out about the hidden call recorder and hidden download booster I can't help but think, is there more fetures AT&T Is hiding from us? I have been doing a lot of research on the subject and to my surprise I can't find anything about hidden fetures on the gs5 even when making spacific searches about "unlocking hidden fetures with root access" I can't find one single thing... does anyone here know of any unlockable hidden fetures on the gs5 other than the above mentioned? I'm fairly new to the whole root scene but have become addicted to searching through code just to see if I can find something I can change on my phone (yes I know this is risky but i have back up phones and I back up everything before changing anything) anyway any info anyone could give me about unlockable fetures or things I should try in general would be much appreciated. . Thanks in advance

How to enable call recording and download booster in hidden menu ?
For starters neither me nor the person that gave the directions are responsible if you brick your device or end up with system errors or unstable system in general....
XDA won't let me post the link to the call recorder because I am a new member here.... so you will have to do a Google search on enabling the hidden call record on the s5...
To enable download booster this is what I did download nova launcher start nova launcher long press home screen click shortcuts click activities scroll down untill you see settings click that scroll down until you see download booster click it.. it will put a shortcut on the nova launchers home screen for download booster click it activate enjoy...
I can't take credit for either set of directions as I am not the one who discovered it I can't remember who I got the download booster intrusions from but it was on the XDA site.. the other I found just by down research....

Not sure what to tell you... do some research... that's what I do.... the booster uses wifi and service providers internet to boost downloads OVER 30MB so if you are not connected to wifi and the download is not over 30MB in size it's not going to do anything..

I've had my s5 for a couple months now and here's some pretty cool tricks/ tips I've come across:
(I am not to blame for a bricked phone; processed with common sense and at your own risk)
- Adding new toggles
- Changing the notification panel icons from circles to squares by editing your build.prop "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" From "klteatt" to "jflteatt"(s4 notification panel and recent apps?)
- Have not tested this... Adding quick connect and s finder button to notification panel by changing "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" to "kltetmo "
- Have not tested this... Att has limited the cloud backup and restoring function of this phone so you can not backup and restore useful data such as mms, sms and call logs(?) I was able to bypass this by uninstalling the stock samsung account app and installing a new one.(Will try to upload apk I used if not just google)
- $tt has also crippled the stock my files and gallery app so you cant use the Dropbox function on either app(probably so you'll use their cloud service). Haven't found a work around but flashing to a t mobile rom will have the feature enabled on both apps.
- tip - Save time managing your files by using multi window mode with 2 my files app open, you can drag selected content from one screen to the other screen to save time.
Hope I helped someone
Thanks dude I'll be checking these out! Any custom roms you recommend for a noob? I already have safestrap and have backed up everything ready to start flashing just not sure where to start.....

I'm using a mostly stock t-mobile based rom it might not be loaded with features but it's stable. I've tried dynamic kat but the battery was draining too much in standby even when I tried disabling a lot of features and apps.
I've been running Dynamic Kat for a few months ( pretty much since it was released ) I loved it and had great battery life. It would last anywhere from 1.5 - 2 days. I'm now running alliance rom. I ran it about a week ago and the battery want very impressive so I went back to Dynamic Kat, but got bored today so I flashed back to alliance and disabled a few more things and greenified alot of stuff so I'll see how it works now
Thanks for all the info keep them coming! I'm downloading visix at the moment and will download these others as soon as I get a chance

I've had the download booster working on my phone. I can assure you, that all that nova launcher does is unhides the feature. It does not unlock it or make it work. There is a thread around here as to how to make the download booster work, but the fix is kind of unstable and works best on firmware G900AUCU1ANCE. It will break private mode, and on another firmware, has a tendency to break the camera and the gps. I don't know if it works at all on the most recent update. I'm on the one in between, G900AUCU2AND3. I could go back, but I prefer to keep the Reactivation lock over the download booster.
Fair enough I just now tested it out and your right it don't work witch sucks.. when I first unlocked it using nova I had nothing over 30mb to test it on nor do I have WiFi at my house so I had to wait to go to my bro-in-laws just to test it looks like I'll be doing more research on this.... I am still looking to test out other roms so anyone that has any suggestions on good roms to try out let me know I'm currently running visix witch is pretty awesome by the way

for some unexplained reason, ALL my text messages just disappeared one afternoon (now about 4 weeks ago). i had wanted to copy them to my PC but had not worked out yet how to do that and then they were deleted and i have no idea how that happened. i hope that they are hidden in the background somewhere in the phone memory? i have tried Dr Fone for android and SMS backup and restore, but could only see the new/current messages. where are they stored? what is the file name/type? will rooting the phone let me see them? or will rooting wipe the memory before i can find them? the phone software is gingerbread and does not support Kies3 which will save texts. samsung support tell me i cant update the software, and that the texts aren't stored in the phone anywhere. the phone is having issues (sometime i have to turn it off and on again jsut to make a call or send a text) and i should get a new one. the home key has not worked for months and i think the volume key does not work now either (without these buttons can i root/unroot the phone anyway? i was going to use 'asunsoft android phone geeker' ). any guidance is helpful please, thanks.
