Then i checked the firmware, it is android version 2.2 aka Froyo. I was happy at first , but then i realise my phone lag badly! i cant pull down notification drawer, the drawer will stuck and in order to use my phone, i have to click the back button, so that the stucked drawer will close, and i cant type properly, lag lag and lagggs! WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED GUYS? CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME PLEASE? IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THESE LAGS? should'nt Froyo be faster and better? please please i need help... should I use Anvanced task killer or anything?

First thing you should do is a complete factory/data reset. The upgrade process isn't very good

@tragusman: erm how to boot into recovery, sorry im clueless ...

I think the things he is experiancing is more than lag its as above mentioned upgrading can leave things slow and reseting clearing cache etc is recomended.
Turn phone off then hold down power volume up and the middle button till it goes into recovery also you could use quick boot from the market its free and it will boot into recovery if the 3 button mode doesnt work.
No it wont put you back to 2.1 but may wipe contacts apps etc but the plus is a clean start.

@Gadget Check: alright thanks I shall search it up ...
@Tragusman: ok ok, thanks alot ! shall search up quick boot from android mart ...

Tab Won't Factory Reset

i've got a galaxy tab, no custom roms, not even rooted and i can't reset it. when i go to Privacy-->factory reset, it will boot into the boot menu, and i do the data and cache wipe from there, then it will only reset the homescreen. my accounts and data stays on the device. i've seen the problem once online, but can't seem to find anymore topics on it. does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I'm having the same exact problem. I can't seem to find a way around it, and I suppose I will have to send it in if I don't want to go into ODIN and deal with it that way.

Same issue
I'm having the same issue.
It does not matter how I do it the result is the same.
The 3G information is wiped out, all the applications are messed up, but my Gmail account, Facebook and accounts are still there. If I manually remove all the accounts using account manager, when I reboot the tab, they're all back!
I've tried:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > facotry reset
and I've tried holding down the Volume Up button while booting and selecting facotry reset and clear cache. No good...
At this point I'm being sent a new Tablet, but I really want my personal information cleared before I send it back. How can I "jack" it up? I've looked for a Verizon ROM to see if I can put that back on using the SD card, hoping that would wipe it, but can't seem to find one. Or any CDMA Rom that might wipe everything out.
After I had this issue I even installed z4Root and rooted teh phone, hopeing to use an App that remote wipes, but the results were the same and NOW the SuperUser force closes everytime I try to open it. In fact, almost all the apps seem to force close when starting them EXCEPT market and Gmail.
Help!
--- update----
Changed my passwords on Gmail, Facebook and Twitter. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped displaying my information and started prompting for passwords.

This is an old thread but I'm having the same problem with my Sprint Galaxy Tab. Factory resetting through recovery mode, settings, flashing a new rom, etc don't work and pretty much every app crashes as soon as the tab boots.
Anything I can do before sending it in?

Anyone else facing this problem? I did have two google account in my tab. I would like to remove one of it which I dont use anymore. BUT the system request me to factory reset if I want to remove the account.
BUT the problem is, i'm afraid if I reset, others problem will come later.
I always heard people taking "Don't fixed it if its aint broken". LOL
So, over my curiosity to see either this "unable to remove account" is a common problem which involve my tab also or not?
Curiosity kill the cat!!
haha..so afraid now...

same issue
I have the same problem.Problem come on gingeIrbread.On froyo factory reset works normal.I flash back to froyo but can't do enything becouze it's crash when go to settings wizard. I go to recovery mod but can't whipe factory data and chase.Flash back to gingerbread 2.3.3 but nothing change.Help please.I have euro tab.Sorry for my bad english.

xena0709, I know if you flash the overcome safe gb rom then it wipes everything. You should try that....
Overcome is GSM only...

I try that.Didn't work.Thank you for advice.

In recovery it says Can't access to '/system/csc/TWO/system/'. I don,t know what to do.

Solved.I took my tab to Samsung center. Replace the mainboard.Now it work.

had this on my Sprint Galaxy Tab after the Gingerbread update. Sent it in and they mailed me a brand new unit a week later.

hello all,
i know that this thread is very old. but i faced this problem now, i want to know if flashing the stock ROM will solve this problem or the only option is to change the motherboard. As my tab is out of warranty and this will cost me a lot to get motherboard changed
thanks in advance.

[Q] Launcher

Hey guys
I managed to root my device with the first guide (oneclick) and uninstalled alot of LG crap, same time i uninstalled the LG launcer. - Today i got a problem with my device. I couldnt ring and hear people when i manged to get in contact.
I decided to factory reset the phone, but my problem is that i dont have any launcher now. When i do the hard reset thing (vol down + home and power on) i can get to the screen where i can type in pin code, but after that there is black screen cause there is no launcher. The search function dont work but the notification bar is working. so i cant get to the market and install. Mostly it just shows the LG logo when the phone is turned on and the touch screen is working cause it makes the click sound. But nothing else.
Does some one have an idea to how i can get a launcher installed ??
thanks in advance

Please use search function. This problem is already discussed here. You have to use ADB.

Hello my fren.. Did u in the 1st place had made backup or ur rom via nandroid before removing stuff from ur rom? If yes then its too bad.. But there is always an alternative..
1. Download a custom available here and place it in ur mmc card.
2. I presume that u have paulobrien 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X installed then flash it via clockwork.
3. Enjoy ur new fast phone!!

naah i did not backup.. thought i would never need it.. but i was wrong..
so here is what i did.
When the nortification bar was working i went into the musicplayer from there, in there i managed to get the search funtion in albums wich gave me the opportunity to search on the internet via the browser (wich i could not open or find cause no launcher ).
I went to 4shared from there and found a launcher but i could not install it because the installing from other source funtions was disabled. Fortunately it gave me the option so i could enable it and i did.. AND YEEEHA i manged to install a launcher and retsarted and it dos work !!!
Before when i pressed the home button it just restarted the phone i could do nothing ! only black screen with logo.. so i reset it and tried the above...
it seems that my phone is still rooted, cause i have the "superuser" thing but when i get time i will unroot it and sell this crap of a device and get back my old Nokia N8 again

Don't just root your phone without learning how to actually use the powers it gives you. If you remove anything from /system you will not be able to restore it with factory reset, because factory reset relies on what is in /system. But I guess you figured that out the hard way.
Learn to use ADB and nvflash, nvflash being the easiest based on the guides at 2x.modaco.com. ADB can get you out of most trouble by editing/replacing single files and nvflash will enable you to overwrite all partitions, i.e. with a stock ROM.
Everything you need is in these forums or in the wiki.

yea the hardway was more fun ;-) (actually not )
I was trying the ADB way, but my computer didn regonize the phone so it was difficult
Now i just need the stock apps and launcher so i can unroot it again

start off with this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
once you have restored the stock rom you can now delete the clockwork recovery by using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
after that unroot in superoneclick and your all done.

What do you want for the phone - lol?

Funny how when ever some user messes up something - then its the device that is crap

Ehmm the deivce is crap... the sounds is terrible.. and the reason why i messed up was i had problems with the device. When i call some one they cant hear me and i cant hear them.. same with income.. but i can text msg.. and its not my carrier or other stuff.. it is the ceappy device ;-)

Take out the battery, and put it in. Press volume up the home button(hold them both) and then press the power button(now you should hold them all three, until you see that Galaxy S i9000 blabla)
You will get into recovery mode. To navigate use volume buttons. Go to factory reset, confrim by pressing the home button and let it work. when done reboot the phone(i think it will do that by it self)

Did that. Did it in the normal settings aswell it just keeps returning to the setting that my sister had

Get stock firmware from here and flash back to factory with Odin. You may even want to take this opportunity to upgrade firmware.

may be that is the only solution. but then before factory reset, read threads on factory reset. by the way, you may wait for sometime, some other expert member may give his advice.

You may be able to backup via adb, but someone else will have to verify that.

Your problem is quite strange like my seniors, me too not sure, but if you wanna try, hold "Volume Up"+"Home"+"Power" key to enter Recovery mode and if ur CWM allows, you can create a Nandroid backup of everything. Could have been lot easier, if you had a rooted phone though. Always keep flashable zips of gaining partial root in your SD to avoid many such situations.

Install this from market web version(by login with same a/c)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mN1cml0eS5hbmRyb2lkLnNjcmVlbmxvY2tieXBhc3MiXQ..
it will disable password till next boot, then take backup
Pro available for clear pasword

worth a try.
