Samsung 10.1 Keyboard - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories

The first time that I put the tab in the dock it worked perfect. It controlled the tab perfectly, it was awesome. Ever since the first time it has been very difficult to get working. It automatically goes to the clock and wont let me get to the home screen. Does anyone have any idea what im doing wrong? if i am.
It seems to me they would of put a little more thought into this issue before they released it.

wait for touchwiz OTA, it wont be too long & it might fix all these keyboard bugs.

I am patiently awaiting its release. The videos of it on YouTube make it seem worth the cost. I would stay away from expansys though. They tend to be a bit misleading about their lead time in getting things in stock. I ordered something that was supposed to be in stock in a week and it took several. I ultimately cancelled my order and got what I wanted directly from Samsung. Samsung needs to push out their accessories at the time of product release. Had they done this with the keyboard it may have reduced the positive buzz that the transformer has received...

yea i see what you mean
the accessories for the tab 10.1 were supposed to be in stock today, they been pushed to in 5 days

I posted this on the other thread. The fix is to go into settings/privacy/factory reset.
This will erase everything you have on your tablet: movies/books/apps/data/etc.
After the factory reset, the dock should work consistently. I was told by a samsung twitter service to do this, and it's been working so far for me.

Yeah, that's the most annoying thing about the otherwise excellent (and compact) keyboard dock. Luckily, restarting the Tab is pretty fast. If the TouchWiz update fixes the keyboard issues, I'm willing to install it (but have no other interest in it whatsoever).

Defective Touchscreen?

Hey
I had some issues with the Touchscreen of my GNex, i thought it was nothing special, because i had something similiar on my xoom too but it only occurred 1 time on it.
Then i've tested the GNex for some Days and i'm now very sure it's a hardware defect, but i want to know what you think of it.
I'll try to describe it a bit:
Sometimes (i sadly don't know when or why) it launches a line of touch-inputs rapidly on the right side of the screen. It's really annoying because it starts a bunch of apps or commands...it even shuts down my alarm in the morning sometimes.
The big problem is, i'm on Vacation for 2 weeks soon...means i can't give it back to warranty now...maybe there is a way to disable the sensetivity of the touchscreen because these inputs are very light. With a testapp i was able to see that it's half as "heavy" as when i tap the screen with a finger.
I've attached a vid of it, maybe someone could say if this happens on their GNex too...i doubt no. (The vid is not that good, please apologize)
Link: http://goo.gl/QnTy7 (Sorry Attachment doesn't work somehow)
No one out there with a idea what's wrong with my gnex? :-(
I would go to verizon and see if there is anyway they could give you a replacement considering your circumstances. Or maybe they would give you a loaner phone while yours is being serviced.
Does it look a bit like this behavior?

I would get a replacement phone from T-Mobile but that would be a real old phone and I have a nexus s here so maybe use this.
But would be nice to know if it's a hardware defect or if it's fixable....
I'll try to exchange it after my vacation.
Yes it's the same behaviour as in that video. I uploaded one too in the first post and mine is only a bit more right on the screen...
I'm really disappointed because my nexus s has some defects too and I'm curious if all Google devices has some defects....
Thanks for the answers
0 defects on my Nexus S
0 defects on my Galaxy Nexus
damn thats gotta suck :s
maybe flash any custom rom? hope you have your bootloader unlock or any pc close
I'm using CM9 since I got the GNex, will try reflashing it tomorrow with full wipe. Will report then.
Hope it's only the ROM, the screen works perfectly aside from this.
I didn't know you were running I custom rom, I would definitely try and do a full wipe and load the rom again or a different one.
The problem on my gnex went away after the ota update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2.

Google Wallet... hit or miss

I really like the concept of Google wallet, and I try to use it whenever possible. but I've noticed that sometimes it works really good and sometimes its a real pain in the a**. for example, I use it to get gas at bp gas stations. the one closer to my house works great, first tap almost every time. but a couple other BP's I use it at on the way to work sometimes, its a nightmare. it takes 7-8 tries, and the terminal usually times out and I have to try it again... then it works (after holding up the line and making me look like an a** lol). and I've tested this with multiple roms, kernels, case on/off, starting wallet app before using, updating wallet app/going back to previous versions, etc. and nothing really makes a difference. anyone else have trouble with wallet, or better yet tips to make it work better? I've contemplated going back completely to stock unrooted just to see if that helps but if rather not, especially if its not going to help.

This one store I use it in, there are two registers with pay pass readers -- google wallet works on one of them every single time, the other one it never works.

could be a bad connector/faulty reader... either way, the terminal still isnt setup properly.
I've had this problem a few times at McDonald's and have figured out that there is a little light on their card reader. If the light is burning it works, if light not working then nfc reader doesn't work right either. I think may be case with others as well.

As the other guy said. Its the terminal. I'm stock and jack in the box is hit or miss. 7-11 always works and McDonalds works 90% of the time. Employees have explained the terminal hasn't been updated when it doesn't work...
When I change the LCD density down to 220 I am not able to place more than 5 apps on my app launcher toolbar. There is room for 7 shortcuts.
What is the point in change the density if it does not allow me to place more shortcuts on my homescreen.
I use it any chance I get its extremely convenient and the only time it ever took more time than it would have to pull out my wallet was the day I updated the Wallet app and tried to initialize in a poor signal area (thanks, Sprint). Another time, their paypass terminal just didn't work at all, something on their end.
Google Wallet is an extreme hit in my book.
I had an issue with it not working at a convenience store once. They rebooted their register and it worked fine after.

i've never had an issue with it, other than the cashiers giving me the old "That might not work here", followed by "oh it went through"

Random Airplane mode?

Hey every one. My wife has a totally stock Note 2. Its fully up to date from the last OTA. Its actually a warranty exchange since her first hand sets microphone stopped working..
So since yesterday her device has been randomly gong into airplane mode.. You can turn it off but it will switch back again in just a few minutes. She has had it just over a week and this just started yesterday.
She barley has any apps installed. And hasn't downloaded aided anything has permissions for changing that state..
I factory reset it. But that doesn't seem to have helped.
Any ideas? Should we just exchange it again?

50 minutes might be a bit small for a time window to judge helpfulness... that being said I would say you made the right call. It definitely should not be doing that, and it seemed you already ruled out any sort of app or custom tinkering that may have driven such odd behavior. Hope the "third time's the charm" idiom holds for you on this one!

Galaxy Nexus death scheduled ?

Hi,
I've got my GN for about 2 years now. It always runned fine. I use it essentially to make calls, mails, some european "anti-cop" app called "icoyote", spotify and that's it
Everything stock, full google official, no cracked bull**** apps or whatever.
Ok so now for about 1 month it became less and less stable. It literally happened from one day to another. I guarantee i didn't add/change or remove anything.
Main issues are : spotify crashes many times (~20 to 50) a day and 50% of the time the GPS fix fails to go trough, but a simple reboot and it work's instantly.
So I tought I should make a full factory reset. I did that and the issues I was experiencing remained the same.
Now comes the 1million $ question : how the heck can something stop to work from one day to another ? If it was some *unpredicted*, classic hardware failure, a simple reboot would definitely not solve it, for sure.
Leading to think it has to be software related..OK, so a factory reset should solve : it doesn't neither.
Why are those apps crashing even in a very stock/factory config? I even did skip this google restore profile bull**** to be sure i'm workng in a perfect clean state.
The only logic conclusion is that there must be some kind of hard coded counter which reached the end and is now triggering randomly something, *i don't know based on what, or activated how* making this **** happen
It's very very very frustrating because it was working like a charm those past 2 years and i thought it was a good investment. I was obviously wrong, another death scheduled device.
Now with the 4.3, I got the feeling it becomes even worse. Today, I had to reboot 4 times to get a gps fix (working 100% of the time just after the reboot) and it was a hassle to get trough 2 songs without being cut off in the middle of it.
FU samsung
But you only tried to flash 4.3. It's like giving a patient only 1 medicine and when that not works declare him dead. There maybe other ways to revive your phone..

when did i say that ? i'm done by years flashing a tool I use to work with. i'm not using it as a toy.
i received the update ota
there's nothing left to try, since my last basic test's where made in a official google factory default situation on a google phone
it's just stock u see? everything else i could try from this point would lead to a non-default situation making every further considerations totally pointless
Well, if i'm right, the so called "crash-routine" would *maybe* not be present in a custom rom, but, again, it worked before and has to work the same way now.
I refuse to use any other workarounds than factory resetting it and, since i already did that a few times, i'm done
i'm not awaiting some kind of help here. i'm just exposing my case and the frustration i'm feeling since samsung nicely dry-fcked me ^^
Don't know why you're acting up for no reason.
It doesn't take a genius to understand and figure out that applications designed and updated for 4.2.2 will most likely not work on 4.3 until the devs update it to work on 4.3. Which, from my experience, doesn't take long at all. That's probably one of the solutions to your few problems.
Way to take things a little too far and throw a tantrum rather than seeking help.
Also, if you have no intentions of seeking a fix then you didn't need to post anything at all.
You're not waiting around here for help? Well, I'm not going to offer help to someone with that kind of attitude.
Peace out you won't be missed.
BTW, there's nothing left to try? LOL
There's about 7 things left to try and one of them would have definitely worked 100%. Figure it out on your own since you know everything.

Actually, it's AOH5, but I haven't figured out the changes yet.
Not sure if it's the fact that my phone was rebooted during the update, but it's very smooth after the update.
Same here. Anyone knows the changelog?? :\
54 packages updated. I didn't get a chance to pull the update. Probably just the stagefright stuff, samsung fixes, and at&t making their preloads more annoying. I don't see anything new popping up at me.
New APK: /system/priv-app/AmazonInstaller_ATT/AmazonInstaller_ATT.apk (this is in addition to the previous amazon shopping apk.)
Mine is rebooting now. ..

I'm believing the performance part. I can't put my finger on it, but the phone is running nicely post update.
Mine's been having issues connecting to and keeping connected to LTE, maybe this fixes it?
Or maybe Carrier Aggregation??? Hey i can dream
Great update. Phone faster, smoother, more responsive with all bugs fixed AND it's solved the world famine problem.

This is going to sound really strange...but can anyone who has updated their phone -and- has a Samsung wireless charging pad that has been unreliable with maintaining a charging status see if it works better now?
I have read others who have Note 5s say that a software update helped fix the problems they were having with their Samsung wireless charging pads so I was wondering if this update helped ATT Note owners.
I'm trying to induce a flashing blue error in my pad right now, but so far I've re-positioned my phone about four times and it's stayed solid blue each time. Kind of frustrating because I just processed a refund for it via Amazon.
May just be my imagination but it seems that my fingerprint reader is a lot quicker and more accurate. I had been having issues since installing a tempered glass screen protector, but now works the first time every time.

Yeah, It's like a complete reversal now. Before I had to struggle to find a position that kept the wireless charger blue (charging) but now I can't seem to get it to switch to flashing blue (not or minimal charging). Very strange. I mean, it's awesome...but I'm still hoping to get some more feedback before I cancel my Amazon refund.
I'm still waiting on a miracle root. I'm gonna hold off for a little bit. Lol
