Just received my 16gb Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Amazon, really disappointed on it due to constant crash, freeze, lag...etc
ok.. open the package, boot it up, straight feeling sluggish between screen and apps already, then play around with it, install few apps, but it randomly close the apps or just froze without any reason and i have to hard power switch off to reboot.
Thinking it might incompatible apps, but apparently not.. it randomly freeze when open "setting", "google maps", "Quick Office HD"...
I done wipe/factory reset but still the same...
So.. guys think it is hardware related or software related? will restore 3.1 fix this issue? If possible, where do i get the vanila stock 3.1 honeycomb firmware and will it void warranty if i install it via say.. Odin?
I'm in Australia, so sending it back to US for warranty will be quite a pain... any help will be appreciated~
Thanks
by freeze do you mean the touch screen is unresponsive? the same thing started happening to mine today. i called amazon and am getting a replacement for free just call them they will send one out before you ship the one you have. I called today and am getting mine tomorrow but im worried because this is the second tab i had to get replaced.
I am waiting for my SGT from amazon to arrive now
hope it would be good unit
I am from Iraq it is so much difficult to return it to US
It should of shipped with 3.1 mate
Like all things that are mass produced you get some lemons in the mix sounds like you may have one

I would reflash the 3.1 update via odin and hope that fixes it
I couldn't risk the no warrany do I got mine from mobicity.com.au as it comes with 1yr Australian warranty

This happens to me as well with my SGT. I notice the keyboard will "stop responding" while typing over GTalk or something. Also the navigation keys will become unresponsive while browsing. A lock/unlock of the device seems to fix it.
A friend of mine was researching this, and on other forums people are complaining of the same thing, and apparently it's a part software, part hardware issue. I guess the sensors in the device loose track of where your tapping on the screen. I'm to try a factory reset and see what happens.

I'm sure you could find it in the development section, not sure if it will void the warranty though. I'm tempted to try this as well if the factory reset will not work.
Strange. I received my 32GB from Amazon on Monday and haven't had any issues at all. Sounds like you got a lemon.
Well, fwiw, I had a GT 10.1 and returned it for 2 reasons:
1) Screen has a dancing/moving part of the panel (towards the middle), where even when OFF, the LCD panel would reflect light in various sheens -- kind of like a think layer of oil on top of water. Slightly depressing the panel would get it to shift and move, and sometimes disappear; only to reappear.
2) Copied 350+MB of .jpegs onto the device, and it took 5.5 hours (yes, hours), to copy the data.
So, I returned the unit. In all fairness, I've got a friend who has a xoom, and had him try copying the data, and got the same results... so #2 is probably a Honeycomb bug, but #1 is definitely a GT defect. I'm now awaiting a Toshiba Thrive

5 hours? I'm going to test that right now.
So you guys think i should return it? It cost $55 send from Australia to US and another $55 send from US forwarder to me... or should i try to flash stock 3.1 first? But.. where do i get 3.1 stock firmware? Any links will be much appreciated.

You can try this post in the development section. I've only had my Tab for a few days so I haven't had time to tinker with it much. I'm going to try returning mine first for a replacement. If that doesn't do the trick I may try a reload from the link here:

I bought the 16gb white version at Best Buy union square on June 12th, and returned it for the same 1) problem on the screen. The second one seemed to be ok, until the second day of use I saw the "oil" mark appearing and moving depending on where I holded/pressed the tab on the back.
But know I have to say the problem doesn't exist anymore. I think it is because of the packaging and the fact the tab stayed a lot of time in the same position before it arrives to your hands. I recommend use it for a week and see if the problem persists.
or they manufactured them in china...
people also report dust in their tabs, which is pretty much proof of cheap manufacturing.
I haven't had any issues.
Anybody figured out a real solution? It looks like a reccuring problem through forums. I got mine from Amazon forwaded to Qatar and basically it is unusable. Starts once every10 attempts...freezes after 10-30 seconds.
i have two and i have no issues with either one.
the first one i got was locked - the second is unlocked
i see no performance difference between the two
and both were purchased from amazon.
I bought mine in bestbuy and I still w/o problems... It was locked but nothing to worry using odin to 3.01>root>custom rom... it seem that ther is some galaxy tab 10.1 lemon editions
Recently my phone started occasionally going into a slow-as-molasses mode where even the simplest task takes 20-30 secs to complete. Of course this makes the phone completely unusable. If I'm on a call and it happens it just turns itself off mid-call or sometimes automatically reboots but the reboot takes forever and the problem is still there. I end up having to take the battery out for a few seconds then it will work normally until the next episode. I have the CPU set to the max speed so normally it's fine. Also, I have a triple battery set-up so there is usually plenty of juice left when this happens. I have no idea what is triggering this and luckily it only happens occasionally. I'm using fxdjacentyfxd's excellent 6.5 ROM and having no other problems. If anyone has a solution or workaround or has experienced this please advise.
Thanks & Merry Christmas!
If the phone is getting hot I have bad news for you. It might be procesor. The one we have is in HD2 and xperia x10 if i remmeber well. The HD2 and same xperia x10 had a big problem overheating and rebooting whille talking , sms-ing, music listening, multitasking... I hope that isn't case for you. Haven't heard yet that someone had broken CPU around here on tg01. P.S. flash new ROM
I have this problem myself with my TG. The only solution it was Miro8 rom in my case. It is because your carrier.

The phone is not getting hot. Removing the battery then reinstalling it always fixes the problem (so far). I may have to do a hard (master) reset if the problem persists as I realize that one of the problems with Windows Mobile is it is prone to occasionally getting corrupted, at least in my experience with custom WM 6.0 ROM on my HTC 8525 over three years.

Any idea how the carrier can cause the problem? I've had the same carrier for 5 years including several months with the TG01 and never had this problem before.
yeah, its a WinMo issue
the software gets corrupted.
I faced this issue on my older WinMo devices. best bet is to hard reset!

In my case the carrier has two separate network (one for 2G and one for 3G), but it is certain that if i use the phone under that carrier it works as you described!
I put another sim (from another carrier) and the phone work great! So i identify the problem as beeing created by the carrier network or phone radio!
But i tried diferent radio and the result was that no mather the radio version I use the phone get slow in Cosmote network (the carrier I speak of).
Hi, I had exactly the same problem about one year ago.
Used to work the 'hard reset' stuff but in a days it slows down again and again.
I checked my SD card on the PC and looked like it was working fine, but it really wasn't. I had the final clue by using by a few days the phone without the SD... It worked just fine without sd.
So I decided to buy a ultra cool (an expensive BTW) SDHC class 10 and every problem with TG01 was solved!
Well, not every problem... Still having a little one with the GPS signal and the 3G data but it's not about the same thing.. but i'll still reading post here. Just forgot about this problem cause I was using some cooked roms from this place, but I had to return to the Movistar ES original in order to unlock the phone and now... you know, just don't work anymore. If I can't finx this **** with the original rom I'll go back to another coocked one.
Good luck!

Greetings from Thailand, kijotex! Hadn't considered the SD card as the possible problem. Mine is a 16GB Class 6 and seems to work fine. Did you check your SD card for errors or reformat it before buying the new card? I've used the same card in my previous phone, an HTC 8525/Hermes without problems (that I know of).
Thanks for responding & Happy New Year!

How did you solve it?

I backed up everything on the phone late the other night and was going to hard/master reset it the next morning but got called out of town and didn't do it. I did swap out my custom triple-battery pack and went back to my original Toshiba battery for a day. Surprisingly, the phone worked normally so re-installed the triple battery pack and it has been working 'normally' since then. I have no idea why. Between the quirks in Windows Mobile and the TG01 quirks I just never know what this phone is going to do next. If/when the s-l-o-w mode problem shows up again I'll hard/reset it and post again.
Cheers...

I finally did the master-clear this week as the phone was getting completely unusable. That seems to have helped tremendously but the phone went into the SLOW mode again today and I had to reboot it 2 or 3 times before it finally was normal. I had just played the Tiger Woods golf game on it for about 30 minutes so wonder if that didn't contribute somehow. I then went into Toshiba Power settings and unchecked the Reduce CPU speed if low battery box even though immediately after playing the game the battery meter showed 70%, but we all know how buggy that is.
My phone was getting screwed up because the case (actually a thin sleeve) was too tight and it allowed buttons to get mashed while it was in my pocket. This may not have been a problem except I had the Lock function disabled. Over time that random button pushing definitely corrupted WM6.5 just like it had done to my old HTC 8525. I'm now using a 2.5" USB external hard drive case until I can find a better fitting one.
I think I finally solved the problem. [crosses fingers] The Master Clear helped with some of the problems, but didn't cure the random S-L-O-W mode. I ended up reinstalling the same ROM and so far the phone is working flawlessly. I'm guessing that WM6.5 became corrupted over time and that was the culprit. I also had the phone Lock disabled and that continually caused buttons to get accidentally pressed while bicycling and/or jogging and speed walks. I personally feel the buttons need a bit more spring tension, especially the Sleep/Lock button on the left hand side. The Lock is enabled now so hopefully that will help.

In case it may be of interest, I have been using the Capdase leather sleeve case for a long time now without any issues. Nice red microfibre lining and pull tab to extract the phone easily. This UK supplier says no longer available, but most likely there are some about if you search a bit.
Best regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Nice to 'hear' from you again and thanks for the tip. I'm using the Mugen back cover for their 2600 mAh battery, although with my custom battery pack. The phone is now about 1/2"(17mm) thick. Do you think this Capdase sleeve will fit?
I'm also glad you answered as I was about to post a new thread or PM you with a question about cooking my own phone config into a custom ROM. After just having to reinstall all of my add-ons, customized SPB GUI, etc., twice while trying to fix this problem, I'm now thinking about backing up everything with a custom ROM. That way if I have to reinstall the ROM I won't have to spend another couple of days getting the phone config back to where it was. I've perused the TG01 kitchen thread but confess I'm still confused about how to do it. And since 99.9% of my stuff is installed on the microSD card will the new custom ROM be able to access that existing data?
Finally, I have to say this phone continues to amaze me (when WM isn't acting up). I just can't see any benefit to 'upgrading' to WP7 like many have done, possibly bricking the phone in the process, or trashing the SDcard, etc. as it just doesn't seem worth it. Now I admit that the reason I bought this phone last year was to install Android, but after having a Viewsonic G-Tablet for a few months with a custom Gingerbread 2.3 ROM installed on it I just gave the tablet back (to my buddy) as it was so freakin' buggy. Bottom line is I'm not so impressed with Android at this point, especially custom ROMs. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I look forward to your sage advice.
Cheers!
Jim
Well... It appears the TG01 show is over
My TG01 has now gone into permanent S-L-O-W mode and I can't get it out of it. I've soft reset it probably 20-25 times, even yanked the battery out while it's still on hoping to shock the system. Did this many times and it didn't make any difference. I even left the battery out all night last night hoping for a miracle this morning. Of course, no change. I'm afraid to try to reinstall the ROM again as it probably couldn't complete the task before the battery runs down. As it is now I can't even make a call as it simply goes so slow it won't even connect, so if I can't find a solution soon the TG01 is going into the trash bin. During the past 3 weeks I have spent way too many hours trying to resolve this problem and have simply run out of ideas and patience. I also Googled it and a few people have had the exact same problem but no one has posted a solution.
If anyone has a tip or suggestion please advise.
tg01 getting slower
In my case the issue was fully solved by: reformatting sd card (full format) and reflashing the ROM. No freezings since I did it 2 months ago. So, I would say it's either your sd card or your ROM. A hardware failure is also possible but it worth trying before throwing your tg01 in the trash Good luck!

Hi mikiril,
Thanks for the fast response. I've tried everything including reflashing the ROM and even that only worked for a few days. I've been researching the problem again this morning and found the problem and a temporary solution. The problem is device.exe is running wide open using between 95%-100% of CPU cycles. A French TG01 website says it has something to do with clicking on the Restrict Sleep Mode button in the Toshiba Power Saving Settings menu, which I had done at some point, but later went back and unchecked it. Their 'solution' is to activate both Bluetooth and WiFi then turn them off. I confirm that does work until the next bootup or Soft Reset. Maybe there's something in the registry that can undo whatever clicking on Restrict Sleep Mode has done. At least the phone is working at normal speed again, temporarily, so I have a little bit of hope.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
Last night while i was out at the pub i managed to win a Tokio Tablet from one of those games machines.
I booted it up this morning and found it was running android 2.3.3.
I managed to root it with gingerbreak, superuser works etc...
I was wondering if anyone has every used on of these and if it's possible to flash a different rom to it?
The default rom is so clunky and slow, kinda makes the tablet useless.
Any info would be much appreciated
I think i have managed to find a recovery menu or something similar but when you boot it up while holding the home button it boots onto a screen saying "unexpected updater mode"
also, bump

Tokio freezed on start up please help!
My 10 year old lad won one of these tabs and used it for a few hours. His cousin downloaded a starwars screensaver and all seemed ok. However, we put it on this morning and it gets to the "android" screen at start up and freezes. We cannot get any further. I have tried resetting it through the little hole, I have tried attaching to my pc to see if i can get into it, nothing.
My lad is upset as you would imagine.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

I search a lot spent hours but didn't find official or unofficial ROM for this Tablet. every question is unanswered like how to Flash, Root, CWM
Tokio 2 vanilla marshmallow 5"
Won one at the arcade, disappointed it wasn't 'L', as was looking to root it. But 'M', although with Google Play, doesn't have all the rest of the Mountain View GAPPs, just about Vanilla Android, and boy does it fly. Battery good so far, easily beats similarly spec Alcatel Popstar.
Soft buttons transposed at bottom, but not a biggy. Cleaner on longpress home button. Seems to be better color with big apps like Chrome, Opera etc., but just using bog standard nakedbrowser.com/android for now. There is a 7.5" Tokio iv in the arcade now...may well get it for summer.
Pity there's next to nothing about them in English on the net.
I've got a Jiayu G3N (s501 Chip) and there's this issue that started yesterday, where there's a half-inch horizontal area about 3/4 down my screen that doesn't respond to touch. It's kind of like this one, but mine's horizontal:
http://www.youtube.c...ed/zIuDN8A2rGs
I've had this issue before where the keyboard goes unresponsive, but a simple back-reload of the keyboard fixed it, (might be unrelated) but this same area has now been permanently unresponsive and not just the keyboard.
What happened was I've had a friend with a faulty SD Card, and he tried it on my phone to see if it works and it's not his phone's SD Slot at fault. The process took us a few Boot-Poweroff sequence, and in the last one it's where I noticed that area was not responding to touch any longer. (This could not have been the reason - or, it's the bootup - poweroff sequence was the one that did the damage, but not quite sure)
I was on Lolfisch v1.0 at the time. Tried rolling back to stock ICS using SP Flash Tool, formatted my own MicroSD Card, still nothing. It's at this point I'm considering doing an RMA with Merimobiles, so I've contacted them about it. The rep told me to email the Tech Support, and of course I did. They said they'd honor the one year warranty they have if it's indeed hardware issue, as they are still in process of looking for an update that can possibly fix that issue (I doubt there is any update, since my Stock ROM is the last and only Official ROM Jiayu released for the G3N) I got my phone last April - so two months into use and I got this damage.
Details of my Stock ROM:
Baseband: Maui.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5.2012/07/2 20:13
Kernel : 3.0.13 [email protected] #1 SMP Preemt Sat Feb 23 07:13:56 CST 2013
Build : G3N 20130223-071508
Anyways, I still have the issues with stock ROM. Tried Lolfisch one again, and still the same thing. From ICS to JB back and forth, still no joy. Tried it with and without SD Card, still nothing. All the possibilities of anything software-related I've tried so it's definitely Hardware issue (probably Digitizer)
Anybody got the same issue? I will update the community on how this goes, as well as how Merimobiles deals with this kinds of issues and their RMA procedures.
TIA
UPDATE: Now there's another half-inch unresponsive area just a few lines above the original one. The phone just sat on my table, and when I unlocked it, I noticed a new unresponsive area. The phone's just degrading each day.
UPDATE 2: Now there are a lot more unresponsive areas and has even extended to my capacitive buttons..RMA is here, 2 months to get it back..

Hello,
I'm having the same problem. How did you solve yours? Changing the digitizer seems to be the only option.
Regards.

The first time it happened, Jiayu replaced the entire handset..
2nd time, it's still here with me and still broken..
and yes, seems like replacing the digitizer is the only solution..
maybe Jiayu cheaped out in this material since the entire phone's materials are great, including the battery..

Hi, I have had reboots before but never like this and always with several months to half year apart, yesterday my phone started rebooting if i touched something in the menu. Of course I thought it were virus or malware that had infected the system or some faulty app that had done something to the ROM.
Therefore I got the stock ROM I had saved for just in case and another one I would try if ever I got tired of this phone(then use it for test purpose):
Stock ROM: Lenovo_A916_USR_S1205_141013
Second one, without bloatware: A916_USR_S206_baralajbi
Both from www.needrom.com
And I flashed the phone with first A916_USR_S206_baralajbi - unfortunately this one has problem with the charging animation when the phone is off, a small issue but enough for me to go back to stock ROM.
So I flashed with stock ROM.
Unfortunately in both cases it did not solve the reboot issue, so now I'm a big ?
Can it be the battery that suddently went dead?
Or can it be some other issue, like the ram being filled up and need to be zeroed out(read somewhere that this type of ram is not like HDD so not getting emptied just by deleting files, it will happened over time, when its overwritten)?
I really need some geniuses here, I'm in the Philippines right now until end of may, of course I could buy another phone, Dogee, HomTom, cherry mobile or asus zenphone but all has a price a bit out of my budget, and i need to save money for the trip home. Unfortunately I really need my phone.
Most of my data is backed up so I can just restore it, to new phone.
Hope someone has a way to bring back my Lenovo

EDIT: I'm still in need of help with this, I'm just sitting here waiting for someone to answer - can't do much else.
No one know what to do about this or what the cause is?
Hi guys, another one for the Solutions Corner, it was the battery - strange that "geniuses" at Lenovo + nobody here couldn't come up with that!
With new battery the phone is no longer rebooting!
