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...
Similar topic in XDA
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.

Fabio
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.

Where can the new room be found? I'd like to give it a try, is the Overcome golden 2.3.3 Asia room?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I was referring to official asia roms.
They are available in samfirmware.com but I have not tried myself.
Cheers
Anyone found a solution yet?
Hi I am pretty new here and unable to post in specific threads of the different roms because of post requirements but I have noticed that all the sense based roms are unable to do one thing and that is play mlb.tv games on the at bat app. It shows an error saying unable to find my location so it won't let me see any of the games at all. This isn't such a huge deal but it would be nice if there is a fix or if anyone is aware of why this is happening. All cm10 roms work fine and don't give me an issue with mlb games so I just find it weird.
Sorry if this is in the wrong area feel free to move it if need be.

hmm i tried it and its a paid subscribtion but i didnt get any errors? and sorry not gonna pay just to test and help fix
I've been using at bat for years and never had an issue.. I watch and listen to games to this day on my HTC one..
I may have the answer for you though. Pull down the shade, tap settings, scroll to developer options, enable developer options with the toggle on the top right, go to allow mock locations and make sure it is NOT checked.
I'm pretty sure this will fix your problem, so enjoy and hit thanks if this helped you.. Have a great day!

If what @BrianBaker said doesn't fix it. It could be the same thing as the problem people have with some games, Veetle, or the Watch ESPN app. Here is the fix for that.
If none of that works, it could be an issue with an ad-blocker program. Try disabling ad-blockers if you are doing that.
Navigation Bar Keeps disappearing when in Apps - CM11 Bug! Help Please!
I have even wiped the phone brand new started from scratch but the same issues
The apps i am trying to use are
FPSE
MUPEN64PLUS AE
MD.EMU
SuperGnes
OnLive
and a few more that i can't remember off the top of my head...I don'y have this issue with most other apps like Facebook Youtube Hangouts etc etc but i know it's causing a lot of my more frequent apps to not work
I even contacted the Dev of FPSE and thought it was his app then to confirm i tried the same apps on my Nvidia Shield and Nexus 7 and they worked fine...i'm starting to think it's a bug with Cyanogenmod 11 :S
Can anyone help me or recommend what i can do to fix this as cyanogenmod is my preferred Custom Rom for android!
Please post questions or help threads in the Q&A/Troubleshooting thread

anyone?
Slide your finger from the place where the navbar should be. It should appear again.
If it doesn't then it's a rom issue indeed and posting this question here is pointless. If you have an issue with a specific CUSTOM ROM then do post such issues in the rom thread or somewhere else where developers of the rom want you to post.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've tried stock M and JDX ROM and it happens on both. Now I know its a developer preview and all apps won't work etc etc but a just curious if anyone knew exactly why this was happening and if there was a hotfix I could do? All other apps I use run fin but Snapchat just won't.
Thanks.
SOmeone suggested using GMD Smartrotate from the play store and setting up snapchat. Others have said nothing has worked to rotate the pics.
i reverted back to 5.1.1 cuz im a snapchat whore.
