As read in various threads here, it seems that both 2.3.3 JVB (Nordics) and JVK (XEU) has been pulled and are no longer available via Kies.
Can someone please verify that?
Any thoughts, comments or even reasons for this behaviour?
Kind regards,

Confirmation
Hi
As i wrote in thread: 1040148, I updated via KIES saturday using a spoofed NEE productcode.
This dosen't work today. As you will be able to se from the thread, this has been comfirmed.
The UK release is apparently still online.

Good news!
Maybe Samsung now has the time to get rid of some nasty bugs:
Android OS drain bug
ringtone bug
browser scroll bug
alarm clock bug
lousy wifi strength bug
etc...
At least I hope so

Whats the alarm clock bug?
Yes, I can confirm Gingerbread on UK unbranded SGS is not showing up for me on my Kies 2.0 with 2.2.1 installed.
Samsung support Sweden confirms that update servers are down and should come back online shortly (whatever that mean)
/qsec
Haven't hit any bugs yet.

Haven't hit any of those bugs yet on JVB. Maybe I the luckiest guy in the world.
.... or maybe I just don't use my phone enough.
Not seen an XEU update yet so not sure what the above post refers to. Vodaphone are rolling it out in UK as we speak.

damn, that was not the quote button^^
Anyway, the alarm clock bug is the bug of the task manager kills the alarm process when you press "clear memory". Meaning that the alarm won't go off if you clear the memory after setting it up.
Can be avoided by not clearing the memory or opening the clock app (or resetting the alarm, don't know, never experimented with it)
uhm to legitimate (hm, that sounds pretty wrong: ) the thanks... I'm glad you asked?^^

I've only experienced the ringtone bug... but that can be fixed. Wasn't able to experience any of the others.

Okay, to get things straight:
- Android OS drain bug: high usage in battery statistics (maybe from OTA update)
- ringtone bug: ?
- browser scroll bug: ?
- alarm clock bug: killing task with "clear memory"
- lousy wifi strength bug: i cannot confirm it here, wifi seems to be as before (JPY)
Can someone fill the open issues?

Ringtone bug = A looping ringtone, but not a full loop the whole way through the tone.
Browser scroll bug = Browser doesn't scroll from top to bottom in one swipe. Stops in 3 sections.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14354988&posted=1#post14354988
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.
Regards,
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.

Anyone found a solution yet?
Just wondering has anyone had any issue with the default Samsung auto backup. I just find it weird that for no reason it just failed? I'm pretty sure it was working perfectly fine last week. Any work around or tips to fix this?
Same here. Really annoying.

I have called Samsung support...seem like it has been submitted to them like a bug report. They recommend me to use the smart switch app instead and backup to the pc. You can download them from Samsung site...make sure it is the pc version not the app u download from galaxy apps.
Is any one facing the same issue? Since after updating to android 12 clicking links in social media apps don't work. For example, clicking on an ad don't open to the web site
Same here, is there a some fix for this, also viber crashing several times and then start?

I searched for this issue everywhere as I have the issue and there was no solution I could find. So we should have to wait for an update to fix this issue.
That title is kind sus... very similar to click-bait technics....

Been waiting patiently for a fix but none has come out yet even after 2 updates. I am so angry at Samsung because of this.
Received an update today 2 Jan 2022 and the issue has been fixed
Hello
Since updating to LineageOS 19.1 I no longer receive notifications from the calendar app. The notification only appears after I open the calendar app. Does anyone know the problem and can help me solve it?
Many thanks
Found this thread, says apps such as cleaner master can cause such an issue.

I have the same problem. One thing to try is long press on the calendar app and tap the "i" to see the app info. Make sure that alarms are allowed (at the bottom) and also try changing Battery to "unrestricted".
I have the same problem in a Pixel 4a (sunfish). I was going to open an issue at Gitlab, but haven't been able to narrow the focus. Last week I got a notification (right on time), while I was on a phone call. However, I can't figure out when it works (almost never), or why.
As you said, sometimes I get old notifications (24+ hrs old) while working on the calendar app.
There's another issue with Calendar. It crashes when you try 'search'. I saw this on Gitlab. That can be fixed by installing the FDroid version of Etar 1.0.30. However, notifications aren't fixed by using that version. I tried.
I just changed Battery from 'Optimized' to 'Unrestricted'. I don't have much hope, though.
I'll post if that helps.

Changing battery to "Unrestricted" made the difference for me. I've not missed a calendar notification since the change. Thanks for this.
However, is this a bug? Should it work with battery 'Optimized'?
BTW, you might consider having this discussion within the official LOS19 thread.

Yes, this method seems to be working for me as well. May be good to mention it in the LOS19 thread. It is sort of a bug in design if anything. Since the calendar app may not be accessed much or have constant reminders, it might not be given high priority in the optimization.
Thank you for that information. Will try that with changing battery to "Unrestricted".
Thank you! Everything now works perfectly!
