[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rustypixel:
I was 13th in line at BB and also was disappointed that the 16 GB white was the only model available. I let a couple of the Samsung reps know my dissatisfaction with the way the whole thing was handled, but that's a gripe for another thread. I'm happy with the unit and have zero regrets and, if I didn't like the gray-backed one better, I'd totally keep this one. Those that haven't gotten to handle one yet will be very happy with the unit.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
I stopped in at 9pm on the 8th and there were plenty left. It's already listed on ebay in hopes I can make a few bucks. If not I will return it to Best Buy. Build quality is fantastic but 3 major issues:

1. How the F do you transfer files? I'm not interested in hunting down drivers or trying to find back door soutions. The whole purpose of getting an Android device over an ipad is NO ITUNES meaning DRAG AND DROP. I have tried connecting on Mac OS and Windows with no luck in getting any of my computers to recognize the device.

2. I installed Dropbox, waited 2 hours for 1 movie file to transfer over (AVI/divx format) and when it had finally transferred, the default player would not support playback. I didn't even bother trying to DL another media player. The F'in default player should play divx files since that is what is advertised.

3. The damn USB cable requires the charging block that came with it to charge. I can't trickle charge on my laptop's port or use any of my USB travel chargers. That means 1 more charger PLUS one more stupid proprietary connecting port that I have to travel with. Maybe not a big deal to most but I fly about 150 times per year so 2 more things to have to remember to pack is a huge deal.

WARNING - this is a half baked OS. Looks pretty and the device flies but is nowhere near ready for mass consumption. I work 60-80 hours per week with a screaming 2 year old at home. I don't have time to search the web for stupid tricks to make this thing do basic things. For $500 I want something that works well and feels solid. And WITHOUT itunes.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
Got mine last night a BB. They seemed to have at least a dozen left in the display area stack. But when I inquired 10 minutes ago they said they were sold out,though the may get more I stock by tomorrow.

I too wwas disappointed that the white model was the only one available, but in actual use it looks and feels pretty good. I may just stick with it.

Build is surperb, but honeycomb needs more tuning. Dedicated apps are supreme, just not enough of them. Looking forward to software improvements, including custom ROM, but I doubt I'll see better hardware before Christmas or ipad3 next year.

(Typing from my GT with thumb keyboard. Which is awesome!)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wrxphantom:
Mine died today. i was using it and i shut the screen off and now it wont turn back on... I will go back to Best Buy tomorrow to exchange it for a new one.

All and all I like it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
A

1. Downloading samsung kies driver from samsung's website should do the trick,no?

2. Don't bother to convert when transferring video files, and play it using a file a file manager, and it should be fine. (I've watched two HD David films with it already)

3. Not sure about the charging situation, shall check again.

hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
Appreciate the tips. Already tried the Kies driver with no luck. I was trying it on a Windows emulator on Mac (another POS - Parallels) so maybe I need to try it on an actual PC.

What file manager app do you recommend/use to play videos? I was just trying to play them via the default gallery app. That works fine on my EVO.

Charger isn't a deal breaker but just another PITA I have to deal with this thing.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fliparsenal:
Great build, sleek, thin and a screen tha rivals my co workers ipad, the galaxy tab is one a gorgeous eye candy. However, similar to my pre rooted galaxy s vibrant, the comparison to apple product by the uneducated consumers occur often. I have been questioned by many whether I was using an I pad 2. Don't mind it thugh as I tell them its better than the ipad :-).

I bouhjy the device on launch and happily been using it daily since then. This device is simply amazing and I found myself using it more often than my laptop. However the lack of microsd slot is a bit underwhelming as I am a media horde. This enough will warrant a return to best buy once they receive stock for transformer. I love this device but the 16 / 32g is just not enough for me. Otherwise, this is currently the best tablet in the market imo.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
As a "media horde" maybe you can help explain how to transfer files without having to use some stupid app that takes 2 hours to transfer 700 MB? That SD slot would come in handy right about now since I can't get it to connect to any computers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fliparsenal:
At first the computer just failed to recognize the tab. I got pretty frustrated an ended rebooting both machines. I reconnected the tab and let windows 7 do the workof finding and installing the drivers for me and behold it worked. Drag and drop my files in less than half hour. What version of windows are you using?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
Did you try a forced reboot? On Xoom you hold volume up and power button until it restarts, i'm not sure how to do it on GT10.1

Wirefly:

I just spoke with "aaron" of wirefly via online chat.

Apparently they will not be receiving phones until the 26th. meaning you can expect shipments to go out on the 26th AT THE EARLIEST. The later in line you are, the higher the chances you may get delayed even more.

1-Day shipping means the 27th at the earliest, so no time to play with it on the weekend...

Since going with wirefly does save me $70, tax, plus friends and family store, I'll be anxiously waiting, but this does suck

Amazon:

Their website states estimated delivery date of July 1st with 2-day shipping as well!

.
[HTC EVO 3D] aaronpoweruser:
If you go through wirefly friends and family its 150 not sure of the downside though
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
Is there a way to get the $25 fatwallet clickthrough along with the friends and family site? that would bring the price down to $125 + no tax...
[HTC EVO 3D] ickwonder:
Amazon pre orders for 180
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
hmm. may have to go that route instead. I'll look into it :)

EDIT: Amazon estimated delivery date with 2-day shipping is July 1st!
[HTC EVO 3D] aaronpoweruser:
im not sure i have never dealt with wirefly. i have a preorder with the shack already but its hard to beat 150
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
true. after selling the evo, i'll be up $100. grab a seidio battery when they come out and i'll be set..
[HTC EVO 3D] Matstarr:
I dont know how to get any of these HELP!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
1. go here: http://www.fatwallet.com/Wirefly-coupons/ for the click-through. it gives you $25 cash back for ordering any phone on wirefly.

2. to get friends and family price (which is $149.99) google wirefly friends and family.

3. if you have Bank of America, go here: https://additup.bankofamerica.com , and then access wirefly, and you get $50 in your BofA account.

But, all these options do not allow you to have your phone on the 24th.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
I don't think you can take the word from 1 chat representative and say it's delayed. I called and asked and they said it would ship on the 24th. Now I'm regretting putting $50 down at Radioshack. I may get it from wirefly friends and family for $150 and then get $50 to spend at Radioshack on accessories and what not...

Here's radioshack friends and family link for evo3d: http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=26987_f2a580fe7f2f4a6ea60a21124db58371

You'll want to change the zipcode if you use it...I just made that one up ;).
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Amazon is Backordered also. Soo..
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
I hope you're right. I also pre-ordered at radioshack, but I figure, if I pick up the phone for $150, i save taxes and basically got the gift card for free... if my 3D is delayed too far out (very possible since i just purchased this morning depending on their stock and looking at amazon's status), i'll just pick it up from radio shack. I'll talk to another wirefly rep in a bit and see if i get the same answer.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmski:
I just placed my order through Amazon and it told me my estimated ship date was June 24th and delivery being the 28th
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
My local Best Buy will be receiving 30 phones on the 24th. I'm number 13 on the reserved list. Im sure other places will save you a buck or more but I've been holding onto a $100 BB gift card since Christmas for this very reason. 2 weeks can't come soon enough!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
I preordered with Amazon
[HTC EVO 3D] Semantics:
I went with The Shack. Wirefly has some ridiculous policy that if you swap phone numbers on the 3D they charge you like 300 dollars. My wife has a full upgrade, mine isnt up until July so I'm getting the 3D on her upgrade then giving her my Evo. She can't wait to get rid of her Pre, and I'll still be sitting on a full upgrade for the next best phone when July rolls around. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
I've been hearling a little bit about that $300 charge. Is that for as long as you have the phone, or not?

Second question, are you guys saying that I can use the family & friends discount with the fatwallet discount and pay only like $125 for my EVO?
[HTC EVO 3D] Dreddge:
Ugh....i need to sell me evos quickly and pre-order!

[HTC EVO 3D] aaronpoweruser:
And there is no point in trading it for 40
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I walked into the Sprint store yesterday to preorder and was told I'm number 2 on the list at that store, so it's pretty much guaranteed I'm getting my phone on the 24th. ;)
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I would really like to flash more and do more stuff, but I hate restoring my data/applications each time I do it. I have tried Titanium and Mybackup, and haven't had a positive outcome of either. Here were my experiences:

Titanium - When restoring the applications, it went through each and every application, and the installer asked me if I wanted to install or not. Was very time consuming considering how many applications I had. Also didn't seem to restore application data or market links

MyBackup - Seemed to do what I wanted. Backed up phone logs, messaging, apps, data, etc. The problem is that my last time running it, I flashed a new ROM, and upon restoring, it continously force closed without restoring any data. I contacted MyBackup support, and they wanted me to send them the ZIP file, which I didn't want to do, due to private information in the phone logs and SMS logs.

What do you guys use for backup/restore, and what are your experiences??? Does it back up apps, data, logs (phone & SMS), etc?

[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
You should try the paid version of Titanium Backup. it allows you to do batch app backup, so you don't have keep clicking one by one. it doesn't backup phone logs or sms but Mybackup Root does that. So you could use both in conjuction along with nandroid to flash around!
[Epic 4G General] shiftr182:
If you have linux or ubuntu, you can tar your whole system the way. After you have the tar, you can flash it just like a stock tar using odin. Your phone will be exactly the way it was when you created the tar.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I've been using MyBackup Root without any problems. I backup all apks and data, (except the rom based ones) and the phone data except the contacts and calendar. I restore contacts and calendar from gmail.

Haven't gotten an FC from it yet, but with 70 apks to restore it can take a while. I've recently gone back and forth between various Gingerbread and Froyo roms without issues.

[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
Nandroid backup is the easiest way, then advanced restore data and .android_secure, after that clear dalvik-cache. Delete /data/lost+found/* and /data/tombstones/*
[Epic 4G General] tpike:
Sounds cool. Been looking for a way to tar my sgt. Think I can tar the modem and kernel out too? Not much going on in the tab section :-( figured I can't complain unless I'm going to try to help.
[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
I think OP is annoyed with the slow restoration process in TB (one-by-one, manual), not backing up via batch which is also available in the free version. Can you please confirm that the full version of Titanium Backup supports silent apk install/restore. Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
A nandroid backup backs it all up, no need to reinstall anything... the only reason I keep mybackup root around is for when I want clean installs and the data only from 1 or 2 apps
[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
What about backing up and restoring when trying out new roms?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Titanium Backup Pro definitely has batch backup and restore without the one-by-one confirmations. Just hit "restore all apps" and let it go. You can also uncheck apps before it begins the batch, or use its filtering function, to batch-restore only some of your apps.

Nandroid backups are great, and faster, but they fail when there are major differences between your current ROM and the one you are about to flash. In these cases, or whenever anything goes crazy, Titanium is a real life-saver. Easily the best money I've spent on any app.
[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
Well I'm gonna try out the nandroid restore to see how effective it is. I flashed the same rom and it's restoring 'data' at the moment... should I bother restoring system or boot?
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
Only do data and .android secure.. the clear dalvik cache
[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
I restored data only and it resulted in lockups on screen off.

I restored data+system and it seems to be running fine.

Is .android secure restored manually using a file explorer?
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
My backup root is amazing. I use it all the time. It must have been FCing because of the rom and/or bad flash.

How would I go about trying multiple android os's on one sd card? I have currently one running good however would like to try a new one with out losing all my current settings in the first os. I tried renaming the folder from android to something else and making a new android folder at the root of the sd however when I put the new android build in the new folder it just hangs forever like 15 minutes and does nothing. Is there something I am doing wrong? If someone has away of doing this I would greatly appreciate pointing me in the right direction :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragonovus:
wrong section dude.. but you have to change the startup text from the different builds.

like this

cmdline "rel_path=Android

or if you have a folder named Android2

cmdline "rel_path=Android2

ofc you have to rename those folders according the startup text..

this is what i think how you should do it :).. i never tried it.. but good luck!

Hi There!

I was using MIUI and noticed my battery life draining quickly, Like, charge it to 100, then restart, then it would just restart with a 13% charge. So I reverted to an old backup that I had based off of the stock sense. Still had the battery problem. So I went into recovery and hit "clear storage" and that sent me into an infinite boot loop. Ah!! lol. I can't even get to recovery. It's only flashing the incredible screen, or if I hold down on the volume, it flickers recovery but I cna't actually do anything, because it's flickering on and off.

Any idea how to fix this?
