xoom cancel

Just canceled my xoom wifi preorder. As for touchwiz, it doesnt bother me because xda will have a solution for us to load stock Honecomb:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vitodintino1228:
I like the hardware, and in all honesty, Touchwiz, wether it be good or bad, is removable. I can't see it taking long before someone ports over a vanilla version of Honeycomb to the galaxy tabs. I really don't care how long Samsung takes to release an update, i'll already have it. :P

I thought the cameras were supposed to be better on the Samsungs than the xoom.. 2mp and 3mp? Is that right?

3MP pf camera!? WTF!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] calin75:
Cameras are still better than the iPad 2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] unknown_owner:
Before you jump for joy about this, here is what they changed in the new design and I really hate that they did this:

- no longer an 8 MP camera as previous stated; now a 3MP camera

- no longer can record in 1080p Full HD; now in only 720p

I guess to get thinness, you have to sacrafice teh camera. I would have preferred the old model altogether the way it was. They should sell both and let people choose what they want rather than completely redesign it, imo.

But you get microSD, 1+
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
I guess all Android devices would have GPS. I have heard that Google insists to have certain hardware in a device, to have it qualify to run Android
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] calin75:
I prefer the new model. I love how thin and light it is. IDC much about the cameras but I agree that they should've make a premium model with the old configuration.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
Yea. 3 MP camera rear camera is a minor disappointment for me, but I think I can live with it. What I'm happy about is, video playback which supports Divx/Xvid, which means we can play most videos without issues, that have plagued the Xoom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vitodintino1228:
Wait, seriously? About the video codecs? Does that mean MKV too?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
If the 10.1 is Tegra 2 then I'll probably get one but, the killer is June 8th release, I'll probably end up changing my mind a bunch of times by then. :D $599 price is competitive with the iPad2. Love the fact they added microSD slot.

EDIT: due to the post ^ with specs. I'm starting to like it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] omnia1994:
Shud i buy xoom instead of this ?!

How much rom that 8.9 n xoom hav?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RickBaller:
Tegra Confirmed...

http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/tradeshows/2011/CTIA/Samsung/DSC_2465.jpg
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
The one's they showed were not the mechanically accurate samples. They should the old builds (10.9 mm wide), which had Tegra 2 in them. Not sure if the new thinner builds(8.6 mm wide) would end with Tegra 2, but most probably might
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RickBaller:
The one is this image is running the TouchWiz UI, so one can only assume this is a production model.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] albundy2010:
Samsung is retarded. They basically had a finished product read for launch. They seen the ipad2 and **** their pants and killed the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] albundy2010:
They put touchwiz on the older one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
I'm sold with the Tegra. Tegra Zone here I come in June 8th :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
Based on what I have read, they put the Touchwiz on the old model
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] plastix:
Actually, I think it was a very brave decision that may well pay off, if not for Samsung then certainly for Android Tablets as a whole.

They have basically cut the legs out from Apple, while they are still struggling to get iPad2s to the shops. Considering Apples entire tagline was 'Thinner, lighter, faster' how many people are going to see press coverage of these new tablets and how they are actually thinner, faster and lighter than the Ipad2?

Not often you see Apple taken down a peg so quickly after launch (even if the device isn't going to be available until summer), marketting as all about perception instead of the reality.

As my boss would say, Samsung have just 'Sold the sizzle, not the sausage', but that is usually all you need to do.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] albundy2010:
Apple may be struggling to get them into stores. But they sold a ton of them. They sold more on launch weekend then others sell a quarter.

Faster? They did not disclose the CPU? If it's tegra it is no way in hell faster.

The people that go for apples marketing thinner lighter etc will by apple products no matter what. If you think by launching a slightly thinner device months later will have any affect on the apple faithful you're nuts.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] omnia1994:
are "early summer" mean june?

sry i know this question is noob but i m a malaysian so i dont actually know clearly about seasons
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Toaster05:
Assuming that the 10.1 is running stock I'll pony up for one of these suckers right now, but having purchased a HTC phone and reverting to a stock 2.3 Rom I just can't see that I would want anything other than stock on my tablet.

Hopefully this will get nailed down and I really hope that this thing flies because on paper they really have a winner.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
Yes. It should be end of June/ early July.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fisken:
june 8th... omg i cant wait that long, iv'e planed to get it next month:mad: what about the old 10.1 is it still coming or what? i still want that :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
It seems the original is still coming, but only to Vodafone (in EU). I'm also still thinking about it...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fisken:
i live in eu so that wont be the problem, but what about the price and release of that...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] geoxile:
There seems to be rumors floating that the US and UK versions will use Samsung's in house Exynos
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
I'm also in EU, so that's not a problem for me also. Only problem for me is the TouchWiz UX, there is no info if it will be on the original 10.1 also.

Availability info i have found on German websites:

The expected price is 699 Euro (sim free) and 349 Euro with contract (Vodafone).

End of April in Germany.

End of March in Portugal.

But this info was posted before today's announcement, so i have no idea if it's still correct.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
If I read the official press release. There will be 64GB model. But no price from the announcement. Hmmm ....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fisken:
that is also the only things i can find about it :/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ali9686:
looks sleek and sexy, i like it. I still want the 8.9 but the wait for it to be released.. sucks..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RickBaller:
What's the over/under on how long it will take XDA to have a stock Android ROM available for the 10.1 inch tablet? Assuming the WiFi-only model it should be fairly quick considering there's no GSM/CDMA radio software to worry about, no?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
do you have a link? im guessing 699 since the wifi version pricing matches the iPad2. if its 699 or reasonable I would defiantly want to buy the 64GB version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
Based on what I've seen, the TouchWiz 4.0 UX won't be installed out of the box, and it will be downloaded later on to be installed/uninstalled as you want.

All UX/UI aside, what do you guys think about the back of the device(s)? The original GalaxyTab 10.1 we saw had an AWESOME looking back panel, with the grip indentations on the side, big silver Samsung logo in the middle, and a textured gripping feeling. The new ones have smooth and slick backs that are gonna be harder to hold onto.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
Guess we will have to buy a case that offers the grip that the original GT10.1 had.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RickBaller:
So is the assumption here that we can "opt" out of the update and keep ourselves pure? Assuming we could would there still be the ability to update Android outside of Samsung's control (without rooting)?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
Its a really long shot and pretty much an XDA pipe dream, but from what the initial reports are saying, this is true.

I guess we have 2 months to figure it out anyways lol.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] unknown_owner:
You guys in EU, can you keep us posted when you hear of the pricing for the original one and who is selling it? I'm sure there are going to be some support for is here so I'm not worried about that.

Plus I don't like how they are coining the phase lighter. The original was only 599g; they shaved off only 4g and no one is going to feel the weight difference. Thinness was a moot point to me.

Samsung why have you done this? WHY??!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] athornz:
If thats the case that's awesome news. It would be nice to see manufacturers going down the route of making their customisations optional, or integrating them in a way that allows the os to be updated faster.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
And the back on the original looked a-mazing (imho).

I feel like the old one will be more expensive too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] unknown_owner:
Yes the back of the original set it apart from all the rest. It was an original concept for a tablet. Now the new one has just joined the band wagon...oh well, I guess Samsung thought that being original wasn't enough for them.

I think that Samsung should release 10.1 as it was: original hardware running stock Honeycomb. but add the microSD. Then release the 8.9 with the new design to combat the ipad2. Variety will sell.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
(edit: removing my post, found my answer.)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] athornz:
Vodafone Australia are going to be selling the original 10.1 (called 10.1v) next month.

Price is $729AUD outright.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] faizalmzain:
bigger MP of a camera doesn't equate the quality of the pictures taken.

i'd rather have 3MP camera with brilliant quality result than having 12MP camera with washed out colors and noisy pictures
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
and who need an 8MP camera on their 10.1" tablet anyways...

If anything, they're keeping you from looking like a f*cking retard holding up a tablet the size of a textbook to take a photo.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I like the new one more. It's flat, clean and professional looking. It has a textured surface that should make it grip nicely. And the sides of the tablet is rounded now, so it should be more comfortable to hold.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] unknown_owner:
I don't think taking a picture with a tablet is retarded. That's just your opinion, may not be the opinion of the masses. Obviously, if it was a stupid think, every damn tablet would not have a rear camera.

I would take pictures with my tablet and edit them on the fly with the imaging apps that are available and maybe upload them to a site or forum. One less thing to do then having to break out my phone and trying to edit the image on that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] omnia1994:
i need a 8mp camera so i can capture a document clearly n view it in my tab screen
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
I just think that way too much emphasis is being put on the size and quality of tablet rear cameras. The important camera for tablets is the front facing one for video calls.

A quality 3MP camera is fine for quick shots, like I said if you need high quality photos, a tablet probably isn't the device to be taking them on anyways.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RickBaller:
Has anyone managed to find a video of the Samsung presentation made yesterday?

What a stupid ****, we are thinner, is this the real needed thing ?

Higher, faster,bigger, thinner ????

Aple makes the inovations, the rest of the world copies them and say we are thinner ?

No, I do not own an apple iphone or ipad, but and this is the problem.

I also own a galxy tab ;) But the marketeers are always a little bit strange!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
Who cares if companies copy Apple? As long as they aren't using iOS the experience will be completely different. Android has come this far because of the iPhone, smartphones in general have. Now the same is happening with tablets. As long as companies can copy and then make it better than the "original" I'm fine.

Steve can call everyone copy cats if he pleases, but Android has become more than a copy. It has become an amazing operating system of epic proportions that brings these companies millions of dollars in revenue. And believe it or not, some people actually prefer this "copy" to the original.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Earthbrain:
I am in the process of selling my Xoom for the new galaxy tab. However, the big problem is deciding which one to get...the 8.9" or the 10.1".

I will have to wait until they come out and then read the reviews, and if possible, play with them personally before making the purchase.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aohus:
im gonna opt for the 8.9, i've already made my decision. haha

its going to be 8.9 inch screen, with a 1280 x 800 resolution. so it will probably look crisper than on a 10.1 inch screen, although I don't think one would be able to tell the difference. we'll see though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] StuMcBill:
I totally agree!

To everyone saying that it is only thinner and lighter by minor amounts, the fact that it is thinner and lighter in anyway is what Samsung wanted.

It is a huge selling point for Samsung to say "thinner and lighter than an iPad 2", only if it is a few grams or points of a millimetre.

The apple advert in the uk for the iPhone 4 says it's the world's thinnest smartphone, so it is obviously a selling point.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] android_master:
If you want i can simply give you about exact 10 so called apple innovations/product designs which they have copied from Nokia{which has used them from about 2002};)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
Can you list a few please ? :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I totally agree. I love my Samsung Galaxy S because I can throw pretty much any video I have on my home network and it will play it. Gone are the days of converting and re-encoding videos.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
Yes, my Samsung Galaxy S will play MKV so I have no doubt that this will play it too. The one problem is that the filing system on Android only seems to support up to 4GB files. Some MKV's might be larger and thus need splitting.

I think the newer 10.1 is better spec'd. I'll be holding out until that one is released to the UK (which I'm sure it will in due course).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
Thats because the /sdcard on the phone uses a FAT32 file system. FAT32 file system has a file size limitation of 4 GB. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blueman101:
Is the file system on the Tablets expected to different?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
So my mission was to get the Datel Classic Wifi Wiimote working on the HTC Desire. I quickly realised I'd have to root my phone and switch to a custom ROM as Wiimote controller doesn't work with HTC Sense.

After doing this I tried out a few ROMs but I couldn't get the PSX4Droid working with them (Ginger Villain & Redux).

I had an incline it was because they were based on Gingerbread. So I decided to try a Froyo ROM wbuch didn't have Sense UI, I decided to go for Defrost. After a bit of messing around and key mapping I now have a fully working Datel Wifi Classic Wiimote working on PSX4Droid, awesome!

Here's the Datel Classic Wiimote if anyones interested:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosunite:
Hello guys,

I had managed to flash the cyanogen Rom 7 #23 (on 19th march i guess) And i had noticed some very strange bug.

When i am phoning and i hold the phone to my ear, the display turns off (as usual) and suddenly the current reception to the phone provider broke. The telephony is interrupted and there is no connection anymore for a few seconds.

I also tried using a headset and i phone again. So as long the display is not turning off, I can still phone as long as it is turned on.

Is that some kind of bug or do i have to do some settings ? i cannot phone like that if somebody is calling me and i take the phone to reply something and display turns off and then the talk is over...

I am using vodafone D2 (it is in germany) But i doubt it has something to do with the provider.

I hope you might be able to help me.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry :)

I already used two builts of CM7 (12 and 30). And nether of them worked.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosunite:
It is not the problem of the provider , i guess. It is more a kind of a bug i think - because if the display turns off, for example, you press the "POWER OFF" button shortly to turn your display off and press it again to turn the display on. You see, that the reception icon is sayin that it has NO reception and a few seconds later, it has found the connection.

I have tried flashing back to CM6 and it has no problem with that bug at all...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurin8:
Do a reboot and try again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Tried this and had no luck. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I've stored my numbers on the phone memory, maybe Titanium only backs up SIM card contacts. God knows about the text messages??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Contacts should be backed up to your gmail account.

As for texts, I use SMS Backup and restore from the market and haven't had any problems :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
How do you do this? I think I've synced mine to my Gmail account but I don't know how to check for sure?

Plus a few of my contacts haven't linked correctly to Facebook but the ROM I'm using (Defrost) doesn't seem to give me the option to do manual Facebook links.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
check it online in your gmail account, if its synct than all your contacts should be in there. To have this sync you have had to choose to save all your contacts as google contacts before, if you did not do it then they are not synct, will not do it automatically.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Checked gmail and they have synced with it, thanks.

Now I just need to work out how to link a couple of contacts to Facebook.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bono2804:
Im on GingerVillain and I think the contacts list/software is similar. Edit contact then press menu button should then give you option to 'Join Contact's you can then manually select a Facebook contact to add to your contact on your phone.
