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?
Hi Guys,
I curently using the AOSP Galaxian soup ROM ([ROM][ICS][4.0.4][AOSP]Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300][beta 1.7.3]) on my Galaxy Tab p7300.
I'm experiencing the following problems and wondering whether anyone can help me.
1. I play a lot of the Story games by Kairosoft. When I load any of the Kairosoft games, the text in the menus and top bar in the games are all in the wrong position. See attached screenshot. Is there any solution to this?
2. When i first loaded the ROM, it would reboot/hang quite a bit. The screen graphics would be fuzzy or jumbled which it would reboot or i would have to restart it. It doesnt seem to happen anymore. Is this due to this being a deodoxed ROM? Should i be concerned?
3. This is not a ROM issues or a problem per say. In the calendars app of ICS, i would like to sync more than the standard 30 days behind. In the options, there is an option for synching everything, this would not be an issue if it was for calendar, but it seems to apply to my email as well. This is huge as I am synching to my work exchange server. Is there any current workaround or do I have to live with it?
Thanks in advance to any help / advice given. I appreciate it.
AOKP Fixed the first and second problem.
Shudve just went Kang in the first place
Hi,
I had disabled auto-rotate when I was on CM7 to reduce battery usage and never enabled it since then.
Recently, I have realized that it doesn't work any more - anyone facing the same issue with CM9/ AOKP ? I have repeatedly done full wipe-flashes with AOKP Build 37 and CM9 2012-05-28 nightly but it hasn't helped.
For reference, the accelerometers report good reading in all orientations and the auto-rotation works in the camera app, but not in gmail, stock browser, opera mini, etc.
While on AOKP/37, I also tried the sensor.zip fix found on one of the pages but that was a no-go too.
Currently I am on CM9/20120528 nightly with Nova launcher. All settings are set for Auto-Rotate (Nova/ System Settings). I also cleared the data/local/yas529.cfg file. After all this, it still doesn't work. I can get proper readings while using RIDGID Digital level (bubble level app) and the Accelerometer tests in Z-Device test, yet no apps will rotate for me .
Any ideas?
Thanks,
RR
PS: Logcat output is here : http://pastebin.com/kdKEDVLs
I tried enabling and disabling auto-rotate a few times, and then checked whether it rotates under Opera Mini and Stock Browser - Did not work. Also checked results of the Digital Level app - worked fine although one of the axis would not give any reading above 82.6 degrees.
PPS: A similar problem was found on the KANG thread in development (but I can't post there as I never needed to post till now, and was relying solely on <Search Forum> advice).

Strange But True
Sorry for the delay in reverting. The above suggestion solved it.
I was waiting for the Linaro goodies to start flowing in before my next flash, but an extremely laggy contacts app meant that I had to move to Slim.
For reference of anyone in the same soup as me:
1. I flashed XXJVU (Stock GB) and then flashed the CF-root kernel to get CWM and root (both using Odin)
2. Then I flashed AOKP-Build 38 from CWM recovery, without wipe (twice, just to be sure). Checked auto rotation and it was working fine.
3. Flashed Slim with full wipe (data format/factory reset, dalvik wipe, and system format, as per karvind's instructions) and the Auto rotate is still working.
Thanks a ton! However, I am very curious: How did the AutoRotation fix persist in spite of full wipes? Where is this 'hidden' partition that is immune to formatting?

You got my hopes up, but sadly this exact procedure still didn't resolve my auto-rotation issue (doesn't work for system apps in ANY ICS ROM).
I'm curious to know if there is anybody else out there who absolutely (still) cannot get auto-rotation working in ICS. I wonder if there is a common hardware similarity that's causing the problem?
Check at every flash
Did you have the Auto rotation working when you had flashed back to the GB rom?
Also confirm if Z Device test gives correct variation in the accelerometer readings.
From GB to rooting to CM9, I did not do any wipe.

Yeah rotation works fine in GB roms. I tried no wipe to ICS as well.
I'm trying Z Device on GB right now, and it does seem a little strange to me that the X and Y axes seem to be limited to +/-10 m/s (+/- 216 degrees). Or is that normal?
+/-10(or 9.8) is perfect.
Did you lose the rotation after rooting the GB, or after CM9?

After CM9. The phone is 2 years old, and I've been through every possible combination of Froyo, GB, custom kernel, etc. Never had a problem with rotation.
Now, in every 4.x based ROM rotation doesn't work - in system apps anyway. It does still work fine in 3rd party apps like games, sensor tests, the camera, etc. But never in the launcher, browser, SMS, etc.
EDIT: Also ran Z Device in CM9 - the results are the same as when running under GB. But still no rotation in ICS.
Mine is a 2 year old phone as well. Plz post the MD5s of the files you used. I will check and confirm if I have the same files.
the rotation sensor on my i9000 seems to work only for certain apps, like the camera app, or the level app that i dl'ed from the store.
i'm thinking that these apps have some kind of low level access and they don't use the system orientation info.
the menus, keyboard, and other system apps don't rotate. isn't there another solution than to reflash a samsumg firmware?`
isn't it possible to port the orientation sensor calibration software that is found in the original samsung firmwares to CM9 or CM10?
or could someone point me to a thrid party app that solves this issue?
ok, i think i need to calibrate the sensor with the program "sensorcalibutil_yamaha" which is usually found in the /system/bin folder on stock samsung roms.
this program is missing in CM9/CM10 however. could someone upload it from their stock samsung rom?? thank you!
Yeah i know i will be a digger but...
I have problem with my i9000, screen rotation works only on stock. Cm9,cm10,gamerzrom, screen rotation is not working, i calibrated the accelerometer by SensorTester and it seems that its (accelerometer and cm hacked orientation sensor) working great, but screen rotation doesn't work, yes i enabled it, when im turning the phone randomly sometimes it will rotate the screen... any help?
Hello,
Sorry for my poor english, I'm french
I have an issue with Google Maps 7.0 installed on CM10.1.2 (and previously on CM10.1). I never had issues with previous version of Gmaps on CM.
The new version of Maps works fine except when i close the app and leave it in background tasks. If it runs in background and I try to use it in foreground again, the map starts blinking very fast. I can access all the buttons of the interface but I cannot make the map move, zoom or anything. Sometime the app does a force close and a pop-up window tells me than an error occured. In order to use it again, I need to close the app and close it also from the multitasking.
After doing that, it works fine again.
Anyone has this issue ?
Thanks

yes, mostly everyone on custom roms afaik newest update to maps broke something, lets just hope it gets fixed. my temp solution is, i just kill the app and rerun it.

It happens on V20a and other devices too. It's probably a problem with the new update.

We just have to wait
Thanks for your answers. Seems that the issue concerns quite many devices so the best thing to do is to wait for an update.
Same problem here, on stock v20a, btw hate new maps update

Good morning all.
I'm running Flinny's cm10.1 b22 on my DesireS. The last google Maps has several graphic glitches, and the screen keeps flicking most of the time. On developers section both "force rendering gpu" and "disable overlay HW" are NOT checked. Any suggestion, please? Thank you

Hi,
i tried to find my 'problem', but all searches didnt show any result.
I am new to this forum.
My Hardware is a chinese Landvo 100, mediatek-chip 6572, Android 4.2.2
I just installed xposed framework 2.6.1 and the modules Blacklist, GravityBox and Swipeback.
All works perfect - thanks to the developers, great job
But: trying to start maginetv.apk i experience now a desaster... The app starts.. stops, starts again .. stops... then i have sound..
it goes back to the start screen etc..
I have to go to the apps menu to stop it...
Uninstalling xposed and rebooting helps - so this is not that a big problem, but still a little bit annoying.
If there is another workaround than unistalling xposed i would be happy to find that (my search showed nothing...)
Maybe someone found a solution?
regards
