[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e654777:
Very subjective. Getting it or not depends on individual requirement. I had mine for more than 6 months now and still loving it; maybe because how I use it and suit my requirement. Lugging an 7" inch tablet with phone function everywhere is no joke. :p Quite heavy after a while. Well, my guess is, lugging an Ipad is also the same. And because it is my 1st Android; it just got better. :cool:

Why do you say that GrammarFreak?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrammarFreak:
For fun

In all seriousness, this is a great device. Solid piece of kit, well worth it.

Since you already have a smartphone, get Viewsonic Gtablet and put a custom firmware on it as soon as it arrives.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohaz55:
I've had mine for a few months now and recently looked at the Xoom and the new Acer 10" tablets.

I don't use it for voice but use mobile data quite a lot.

After comparing I've decided to stay with the Galaxy Tab because, by far, it is the best made and (despite Samsung) developers are giving us all we need to keep the Tab great.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
well, just tried out the sprint version in the store (any difference between that and wifi only in terms of the OS?) and I think that the tab is perfect in terms of hardware however, I will try out other options like that viewsonic Gtab 10 when I get the chance to.

thanks for all the input and opinions :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendevous:
If you just want an android experience, and don't really mind having a 3G, then Archos 70 can be a cheaper alternative. Otherwise, if you want to venture into the realm of 7" tablets and want a lot of customization or an pure eBook experience, the Nook Color will, errr, color you impressed.

Otherwise, if you want the best 7" android tablet that no other 7" android tablet can hold a candle to, then go on and get the tab.

@grammarfreak - Random thought, that's what they said too when I went to UK a year ago. The Philippines uses American English, so we say, "color" instead. :p Btw, do you guys spell it as, "Center" or, "Centre?"

Edit: accidentally typed 10" instead of 7" for the Nook
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrammarFreak:
Centre. And "Z" is "zed", not "zee"
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingblind:
don't get the tab

Don't get the Tab.. Buy a B&N Nook Color and put this on it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=954902

It runs as fast as the Tab. Has WAY better XDA Development and cost 250 instead of 350.

I am regretting buying my Tab.. It's the most hostile dev forum I have seen for getting a straight answer to any question. that's not a good sign.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
hmm, judging by the specs, the nook color may pay off as the better tablet (for the price) in the end except, does it have any HD output? that is important to me however, its not a deal breaker
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravness:
You mean it can play 1080p without hiccups? If that's true, I'm buying
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {Diemex}:
Nah nah nah.

Dont get a nook color. I had one and I sold it after a month. It was the first device that I've ever sold.

In comparison to the galaxy tab it pretty much sucks.

The mediaplaying capabilities are limited to 854•480 mp4 baseline profile.

So you have to start to convert again.

Not that I have a problem with converting, after a while of constant converting its very annoying....

The tab has overwhelming mediaplayingcapabilities. It has played absolutely EVERYTHING that I've thrown at it.

mkv, avi, xvid, mp4, mov. 1080p no problem.

I had to only convert some vids once, they where mov, the tab played them, but they didn't show up in the videoapp, so I converted them to mp4.

The tab is so cheap now. I wouldn't save those 100$ to get a nook.

If you really like the tab, you could also simply pop in the sim from your cellphone and use the tab as cellphone-replacement.

That's the way I use it, the tab is actually the first cellphone I've owned LOL.

I rather have a device that is a working jumbojet than a device that is a small plane and everyone is wanting it to be a spaceshuttle.....

sent from my galaxy tab
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravness:
Thanks, needed an opinion from someone who's had both devices.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
well, I took a look at the Gtab (thx ravness for telling me) and the specs for that are amazing at an even more amazing price so I have added THAT to my list of possible tablet devices I might get.

so, does anyone have both/can tell me what the viewsonic Gtab is like compared to the galaxy tab?

and thanks for all the suggestions and, If I wasn't interested in tweaking my device(so as to make it how I want it to be) as soon as I get it, I would probably already have a galaxy tab however, Dual core 1.2Ghz processor does make the Gtab look nice (aside from the default homescreen/skin which looks and functions terribly).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingblind:
Again, I have both devices.. Nook Color plays 720p with no problem.. never tried 1080p.

use the arcMedia player. It’s completely free — at least while in beta. It uses open source FFmpeg libraries and can handle a similar range of video formats including DiVX, Xvid, MOV, Mp4, WMV, and RMVB. The arcMedia video player supports all versions of Google Android.

Serious, save your $$ on the tab.. Your other option is to get a larger tablet (like the viewsonic and hack it.) be warned.. the viewsonic is AWFUL stock.. but the Cyanogen mod it's pretty great.. It's 10" and with the latest price drop cost less than a tab.

Update- 1080p on nook is laggy.. 720p yes... 1080p No.. Viewsonic rocks on 1080p..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravness:
Yep, the only tablets I would even look at right now are those three, in order of preference: Viewsonic Gtablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Barnes & Noble Nook Color.

Gtablet's hardware is simply outstanding, Galaxy Tab is a little bit of both hardware and software (stock player FTW), and Nook Color has a great range of devs going for it + IPS screen looks best of the three.

I have the Galaxy Tab right now, my next purchase will be Viewsonic's Gtablet. I've decided I'm going to pass on Nook Color.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
well, it's official, after considering all the options, I will get the viewsonic G-tablet as it is currently priced 50 dolars cheaper then the galaxy tab and only 50 dolars more expensive than the nook while it has twice as good of hardware (also, I find it fun to hack and tweak my devices to perfection so i don't mind what kind of stock experience it provides so long as I can remove it ASAP) again, thanks for all the help in deciding what I should get :D:D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravness:
Good choice, it's a solid device. Hope you enjoy it when it arrives, see you on the Gtablet forums!

I just got my bluetooth keyboard with built in mouse today and got it to connect. The mouse doesn't work but the keyboard does. Sadly there is no menu or back button on the keyboard. Escape won't work to go back and I would like to use control for menu if possible. Also I can use the FN key for special characters but not to change volume. My question is does anyone know how to remap these buttons?

This could be good news for some peeps wanting to get the 3D or Nexus when they drop. I was over on Sprintusers and saw this info. Basically, they are saying there is an override process, to help people that lost their upgrades with the Premier changes. Now before anyone asks....this is only set up for people that already had a $150 upgrade showing on their account, prior to APRIL 1, 2011. I heard quite a few peeps posting they had upgrades sitting there since Oct/Nov 2010 etc and lost them, aka had them reset by Sprint.

So if you had this happen to you, you may wanna call in and ask about the Sprint Premier Tier Silver Override Process. Supposedly, they will research the issue and re-set your upgrade accordingly. This falls in line to some of the information DirtyShroomz was posting a while back, about upgrade resets being possible. Now if your $150 upgrade was due after APRIL 1, 2011 this technically doesn't apply to you. However, it certainly can't hurt to try. You might get lucky.

New Sprint Premier Silver Tier Override Process

By: Juan April 13th, 2011

No Comments

A trusted source of SU, who happens to be close to the situation of the Premier Program has advised us that there is a change in the Premier Program once again.

There appears to be a a plan in effect for people that lost their Gold membership. This occurred due to the changes in the Premier Program that went into went into effect April 1, 2011.

It appears there will be some flexibility for members that were Gold before the changes.

CS reps will be able to submit a tier override for customers that were upgrade-eligible in April, but lost the benefit when they became Premier Silver due to the changes in the program.

Premier Silver customers may ask for an upgrade if they were eligible in April under the previous rules.

The customer and CS will have the following options available to them:

If the customer wants to upgrade now: CS will transfer the call to Telesales to process a tier override and upgrade the customer.

If the customer is not ready to upgrade: CS can submit a tier override using the new options available to CS.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Somewhat correct. Tier overrides are only done in retentions, CS and telesales can not perform these nor submit anything to have it done, just trying to save some, some time.

Only people that had it qualify for it, anyone that was set to receive it at a later date will not get it as they never really had it.

Edit: Only a certain set of people can perform these resets, some are in other departments besides retentions, but mainly it's retentions that does the resets. NSS usually works with third parties on these.

[EVO 4G General] KB112:
Thanks for the clarification sir. Sounds good for the peeps who lost it though, for sure.
[EVO 4G General] jeremyhilton:
Just an FYI, I work at RadioShack and we are able to call in these upgrades to our Sprint sales support and get them reset (only if you already had the upgrade as of April 1st of course).

Jeremy
[EVO 4G General] dadoc04:
Great to hear.... thanks so much guys!

I lost my 11/1/2010 upgrade with this whole premier change. Ill be calling later today and will post results.

Thanks again
[EVO 4G General] cordell12:
You can also get help is you are a 10 year subscriber who is not gold do to switching to nextel/sprint. I started with sprint 11 years ago, when they merged with nextel I switched for about 3 years. I then went back to sprint, no breaks in service during this time. Well I was set to be silver, I contacted Executive Services with my 3 account numbers and they did some research and upgraded my account to gold, were it should be :) Took close to 3 weeks, but the guy handling my case was extremely helpful with the whole situation. I do not think they can do anything for you if you were with nextel before the merger though :(
[EVO 4G General] Batman58:
Sounds like it may work for me then. In March my account showed a full upgrade available... I checked in April and it was reduced to 75$.

I'm not to sure about calling in tho.. and I say this in NO offense to anyone, but, most reps don't seem like they know what they're doing.
[EVO 4G General] brokentoaster24:
My upgrade was due for april 1st, I had a full upgrade that day and the next I was silver. Apparently I sent enough emails that they gave me an upgrade override yesterday
[EVO 4G General] androidrookie84:
I wish they would've left everyone that signed a contract before April 1, get one last yearly upgrade like Verizon did before they changed over their policy.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
I did have an upgrade available before April 1 on my primary line.

I called and spoke to Customer Retentions and they submitted by account for an upgrade and even said she would call me back as soon as a decision was reached.

Very satisfied with Sprint CS. I do hope my upgrade will be re-assigned.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
Got my upgrade back today after calling sprint today *****ing about bad service. Looks like i can get the nexus now!
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
Tried to get the override via chat... No go..

I will call in on my lunch break and see if they will give me my upgrade back
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Is the Nexus going to fix your service issue?
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Yea I tried the same. The chat person was useless all he did was quote the silver upgrade policy.

Talking to someone got quick resolution.
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
Called in - she was very nice and understanding - She xferd me to Account Services (Retentions)

They Said they are going to submit the request for my eligibility to be correct and should be done within 24/48 hours but may be sooner.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I must be a bigger jerk than I thought.

I had 7 or 8 phone conversations and a week-long email exchange with Account Services, they told me they would be delighted if I moved my three lines to another carrier.. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
no but ill have a new phone for cheaper than paying full price. the towers are suppose to be fixed by may 1st. been down since febuary. if not ill call again and they can pay another months bill for me.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
I agree. I need a Fixxeerr filter....
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
well if your company would fix the towers that have been down for months i would stop complaining. anyways at least they gave me my upgrade back for the inconvenience.
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
Got the call back about an hour ago - Upgrade is back on my line!

Hi, I have changed my LCD density to 195, within the samsung designated compatability range.

I want to know if it is possible to force this change on everything. My gameloft games resize to their own density it seems.

Also, it seems to slow my tab down, this new density. Is it cause it now takes more memory to opperate? Could someone also explain alittle what memory is used there and how to boost it, if possible.

I know that you can download the LGHome for any android phone, but it is WAY too buggy to be usable. Would it be possible to port it to the V and be stable? Or port the Optimus M/T ROM to the V? (Preferably the M, the T's only has 3 buttons in the dock) or even the Optimus 2X ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haithamelbedawy:
Hi,

I wonder if someone can offer me some help, i had my captivate rooted and i had cognition rom on it, i tried to update to a different rom and while i was using the ODIN the usb came loose and then the phone froze at yellow page with the shuffle, then i tried to put in the download mode by holding the power and up and down button then put the usb and then the battery, the computer do not see the phone also i only get this phone ! Computer, i hope i did not brick the phone.

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haithamelbedawy:
I'm replying to my own post: After i posted my question i tried to put the phone in the download mode by holding the up and down buttons without holding the power button and put the usb then the battery and it was successful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aryn.galadar:
That's normal

Just so you know, holding only the volume up+down and then plugging in the USB is the normal way of putting it in Download Mode.

The volume up+down AND power button is the normal way of putting it into Recovery Mode, not Download Mode.
