[Q] Need your thoughts about SGT-P1010 Problems - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had my P1010 for about 3 weeks now. Since then it has
blacked-out on me (tab crashing then a reset makes the search,
home, power buttons disabled/screwed) several times and
wi-fi dying (can't detect wireless networks that it connected to
previously) suddenly.
I was able to fix the problems though with a bit of tinkering.
- Hard/soft resetting the tab
- Connect to Kies
I have a feeling that the problem isn't a hardware issue but a
software one (or is it?) -- some kind of Sammy/Android issue
on the P1010...
So the thing is, I'm just reluctant whether did I get a dysfunctional
unit and I should get it replaced? Or should I stick with this one,
accept the fact that the quirks I've aforementioned will forever
bug me and replacing it wouldn't make a difference?
Am I the only one experiencing this with P1010?

Milestone Wi-fi/3G connects but not send data

Hello there,
As a newcomer, I found out these foruns filled up with great information and guys willing to help, so came here to ask for some help ....I am both excited and dissapointed with my brand new Milestone. Bought the handset about 5 days ago, which came with Android 2.0. Then updated it straight away to version 2.1 via "Motorola Software Update". So far so good ...here´s the problem I am facing :
While connected to wi-fi or 3g(issue is easier to notice due to 3G icon at the task bar, which points out in those small arrows data that is being sent/received) phone stops to receive data out of the blue. All connectios are cut off(it also happens when the handset is locked up). Some basic trouble shooting i did:
- tested all pcs connected to the same wi-fi network. No issues detected for these
- reset wi-fi router configs. Didn´t work
- tried other wi-fi router. Presented same issue
- swapped another carrier chip to test 3g connection. Presented the same issue
- tested my GSM chip on ther phone. Worked properly
- Reset phone to default settings. This time the connection took longer to drop, like 30 minutes, instead of the usual 10 minutes. After the first drop, it´s started behaving the same way again.​
It seems pretty much that there an issue going on here (obvious...hehehe). I am considering the following:
- Might be a software issue. So, right now i am downgrading it back to 2.0 version, check if it works properly and then move to 2.1 hopping to get the issue fixed.
- Use retailer warranty and claim for a new phone =/​
Could you guys help me out ??
Thanks in advance and Best Regards !!!
Guys, after downgrading version to 2.0, phone stills presenting the same issue. I think it´s turning into hardware issue =/....does anyone have a clue about it?
Thanks and Best Regards!!!

[Q] Bluetooth Pairing and Connection Problem

Hi everyone.
I bought a sgs about 7 months ago. Since I bought this phone, I am having some bluetooth issues with it.
The problem is;
when you first try to connect the device with any other bt devices, it connects without having any problems and operates normally.
Then, when you disconnect sgs from the device, it never connects again. it does not even search for the nearby devices. you can also not unpair the previously connected device, the command "unpair" does not work.
the 120 seconds counter, doesnt count down when you switch the phone to visible mode.
I tried to re-boot but it did not work.
I re-flashed the same rom, it did not work as well.
I changed the rom with another one and flashed 2.2.1, but it s still the same.
the only way, to make the device connect with a nearby device is to re-flash the rom and it only helps me to connect to any device for just 1 time. then bt becomes useless when you disconnect and to re-connect, you have to flash the rom again..
Please help me in solving this.
Honestly I have similar issues with my phone. This thread fixed the connectivity issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795691&highlight=bluetooth
However, my phone consistently drops its connection...very annoying.
Honestly, I never had a connection, thus, I am not familiar with the saying "connection droppings"
I tried the things written in the thread but it did not work. still the same and really annoying.
Hi, did you solve this issue? I'm having the same problem on 2.3.3. and it's very annoying...

[Q] WiFi occasionally 'killing' routers

Search function is currently unavailable, so apologies if this is a dupe...
Anyways, I'm currently running Rooted Stock 2.3.4 on my N1, and I've noticed that whenever I connect to my friend's DLink router (DIR-655, I think) the Wireless will work for some amount of time, but eventually it will stop working. And not just on my phone, either - the entire router stops working (at least for Wireless requests. Didn't have any wired devices connected to it). Thing is, last time I noticed it, it worked for quite a while - hour or two, maybe - then everything broke about 10 minutes after I received an email... At that point, the router needs to be rebooted, after which it continues working just fine.
The router is using WPA2 encryption, for what it's worth.
I've noticed this with previous versions of Android, so it's not a breaking change introduced with 2.3.4 or anything.
Unfortunately, I don't have an awful lot of Wireless routers to test with, and I haven't yet found an opportunity to test at home, so I'd be hard-pressed to say whether it's a router/D-Link problem, or if it's a device problem...
Has anyone else experienced this? Would flashing a custom ROM (e.g. CM7) fix this? Or would I need a new device? Any thoughts on what else I could do to debug this problem? As I said, this is a rooted device, with an unlocked bootloader and the latest version of Busybox installed.
I'm running 2.3.4 and haven't had this issue with this version or any previous ones.
I've had my phone disconnect from Google Services (the icons turn white instead of green), but the internet stays on and all other devices work just fine.
I have a Netgear router at home and a Linksys one at work and I'm connected to both the whole time I'm at either place.
Hmm... That's interesting.
I've never had Google Services disconnect, but I do have another issue with data randomly turning off. That's not a big deal, as I can just turn it actually off then back on again, and all is good.
Anyone else able to chime in with their experiences?
I have had this happen with cheap, crappy routers. Sometimes upgrading the router to DD-WRT helps, sometimes it doesn't. I had an ASUS this would happen to all the time, and an Airlink that this would happen to occasionally.
This doesn't ever happen to my Linksys WRT610N, and it never happened to an old ZyXEL X550.
I'm going to say, it's just a crappy router.
Thanks. Not really what I was hoping to hear, but that's life.
Did either bad router ever have this issue with other devices? One of the other folks living there has an iPad, and never has this issue, so I'm inclined to say it's at least partly my N1s fault. Also doesn't happen with any of the PCs connected to it.
Yeah, they actually did occasionally have issues with other devices. Hard to narrow it down because I have a ton of Wifi devices. The ASUS also seemed to go down based on time... after so long, it would just stop working properly. The Airlink seemed to get stuck based on demand and range. If I had my phone or laptop at the far end of the house and started using it a lot, it would get stuck. It was as if the router decided it was too much work to pump its signal that far and it would get tired.
Stock ROM on my N1 doesn't seem to allow it, but if you have a custom ROM, you might see if there is any way to set the Wifi to G-only. I had noticed on my old router that G wireless devices seemed less demanding for it.

[Q] Wifi connected but not working?

Hi, I've searched for similar issues, but can't find one, so please forgive me if it's covered elsewhere. I have a UK EE HTC One (1.28.61.7) which is fully stock (not even rooted) and aside from an issue with the capacitive buttons being hit and miss have one other issue. When I connect to a wifi network (tried on multiple networks) it will connect, and be fine for a minute or two, but then it will show that it's connected, but refuse to transfer any data. The only way to get it back to life, is to turn wifi off and on again.
Has anyone else come across this, or should I go back to EE, and swap it?
TIA!
Yes I noticed this, at times it disconnects but if you give it time it reconnects ...never had this problem with my old phone. Samsung glide.
******************************
HTC ONE (Stock so far) Just got 2013-04-21
Samsung Captivate Glide
Installed:
CWMR5x_i927_recovery.tar.md5

hmm, mine doesn't - it just shows it's connected, and won't transfer any data .

wifi disconnects for unknown reasons

My SM-N900A has been working great for a few years now and is running Android 5.0 from an OTA update (maybe a year ago). A few weeks ago I started having trouble with the wifi. Sliding the wifi control to "on" will sometimes work, but more often it can't find any networks. Often rebooting will fix it, and the wifi will connect (showing a strong wifi signal). Sometimes I see it rescanning several times when I don't think it should be scanning. Then after a few minutes or occasionally up to an hour it will disconnect from the wifi entirely and refuse to show any networks as before. Sometimes I have thought that disconnecting the battery is a surer way to restart the wifi than just rebooting, but it is hard to be sure. This happens with my home wifi, as well as with several other wifi networks I have tried. I haven't dropped or damaged my phone, so I'm wondering if this could be a software problem. I have tried rebooting in safe mode, but the problem persists so I don't think this is caused by an errant application. I have also tried swapping in my spare battery, but that didn't change the problem (although neither battery is a genuine Samsung). If I leave wifi off and just stick to the cellular connection, the phone seems to work as it should. Would there be any logic to trying one of the alternate ROMs on this forum to see if this could fix the wifi problem? One reason I haven't tried this already is that the directions I've seen for installing these ROMs seem to be written for people who have done this dozens of times (which I have not). If this is a reasonable tack, is one of these ROMs known for its ease of installation, or perhaps for the quality and detail of its installation instructions? Are there any less drastic things I should be trying first (other than buying a new phone of course)?
Got the same issue. used odine reinstall 5.0 modem/radio and when that did work, i reinstalled 5.0 and 4.4.4 but nothing worked. i think its a hardware failure. time for a new phone.
