Is the 8.9 Tab a POS?

---

Sorry for my title in this thread, but I am just a little upset right now. Whatever 3d game I download, either does not work, is not compatible with the tab, and if it does install crashes in 30 mins. If it does not crash, the ap acts crazy. I am talking about game apps btw. Skies of glory, my plane just keeps spinning around non stop. About 10 games I tried downloading are not compatible. Hawx crashes 15 mins into the game. I see alot of apps are compatible with the 10.1 inch model. When I go to gameloft, they don't even have the 8.9 model as one of the selection on their site. Is it just my tab or no one offers support for this thing?


Does anyone have any 3d games that work with this tab? So I can at least get some more? (I do have shadowgun, Hot Pursuit, and dead space were the only ones I see that work really well. Thanks

This is because Galaxy Tab 8.9 defaults to "landscape" in build.prop whereas all the other tabs including the 10.1 defaults to "portrait". That means any game that uses the accelerometer will not function for 8.9 (unless you hold it in landscape mode!) until the developers start to cater specifically for 8.9.

you're going to want to install a custom ROM and you'll like it much better.

I don't know why samsung made some of the decisions they did, but overcome fixes everything that you're talking about.

I play GTA, osmos, world of goo, wreckless racing, wreckless getaway, etc. all work great.

Is it a POS? stock software, yes. hardware, absolutely not.

Thanks for the replies guys, what custom rom do you recommend for it? I guess I will google it if a link cannot be posted. Thanks.

Just look in the development section. All the roms are there.
The only question to ask yourself is, do you want honeycomb or try out the ics alphas. I would go with ics but keep in mind it's alpha so some stuff might not work

If you you use cameras don't go with the I cs. Go with overcome.

Shadowgun, Frontline Commando, and Deadspace, are all pretty awesome 3d games, but yeah I want Gameloft support too.

At the moment there is no one Gameloft game in the market for 8.9 Galaxy tab.
I have tried to change tablet version name to P7100 in build.prop but it didnt helps (games have appeared but i cant buy anything). I also cant install or run any downloaded version...
