[Dell Streak 7] NarkyMark:
.....PDMI

You just need to know which of the 30pins on the PDMI (Click-WiKi) is +pos and which is -neg, then get a rechargeable cell/s (of correct Voltage and approx 2A delivery) and wire into a PDMI male adapter plug accordingly.

BTW I have a feeling this could be a workaround for the "Sleep Of Death" on HD7 as I have found that I can let the device sleep while connected to my USB port on the Laptop and it always wakes up, weird as I know it doesn't charge, but it must send enough power to stop it falling into a coma (I'm on Wifi only model so may differ).........As for powering the Streak up from a backup pack I think it would need to deliver at least 2amps as the Streak doesn't seem to want to charge from much less, unless you fancy learning the Schematics of the DS7's Mobo to look for a workaround! :D

Hey guys,

I know many of you are waiting for this info, I held the 3g version today, and sadly it does not have a.micro sd.slot. It is just like the wifi version.

Earlier there were rumours on the 3G version getting a slot but sadly it didn't.

I was at the galaxy tab 10.1/8.9 sneak peak today. 8.9 was pre installed with touch wiz, while 10.1 wasn't. although 3g tab was running 3.0 it still felt smooth and the tab running 3.1 felt simply awesome.

I really wish samsung gave the user an option for touchwiz on 8.9.

I'm really tired now, so I'm off too bed, i'll be posting the pics up soon to prove it.

Cheers

Jackie

Where was this event and why hasn't anyone reported anything on it?

Was it the Verizon LTE tab on display? If not, who's to say that version won't have microSD? Until the carrier versions are announced, nobody will know the true specs
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lacion:
so 10.1vthonner edition?

i'm stsrting to thing theres no 3g drivers yet for 3.1 on the gtabs and thats why 10.1v owners havent got the update yet
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
I hope your wrong!

The packaging for the Poland 3G version (10.1 NOT 10.1v) says it has a microSD slot supporting up to 32GB. But it also says it's a 1.2Ghz cpu - so perhaps it is just a mock up only and final products don't but i really hope it's not the case.

I was thinking of the Xoom as an alternative, but due to it's instability and some people say poor build quality, if the TAB doesn't have a micoSD card then I think I will be waiting for the the release of the 10" HTC flyer in a few months from now....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xavierdylan:
i get the feeling there are different versions of the 3g tab. some will have a micro sd slot and some wont. I have now seen both tabs on the internet. those with a sim card slot and a micro sd slot and others with just a sim card slot. only time will tell

here is the link for the 3g tab without the micro sd

Was looking at the post and I have a Xoom myself and was interested I how the new tabs are. One thing you say is that the Xoom build quality is poor but, I had to disagree with you. My Xoom feels solid, a bit heavy at times, but there is nothing wrong with to build quality. Most of the instability is due to software in Honeycomb which will be fixed with updates.

Back to the OP:

The Verizon LTE Galaxy tab might have a micro sdcard included and not in the 3g version you saw. Another post I saw said some specs which included a 1.2ghz processor. Is it confirmed that Samsung is using their Exynos processor in the 3g model?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rubi76:
Hi Jackie:

Please tell us where do you live, where was the sneak peak, and how come they had the 8.9 as well...

Most of all, please tell us if the version you saw had the VERIZON branding on the back .... (it should be LTE (4g speeds) not 3g).

Every country / version is different but if you saw Verizon, then that's what we are going to get in the USA.

Thanks,

R.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
Yes sorry I meant the weight more than anything is putting me off the xoom and the instability - which as you said will be corrected in time, but for me I don't want to put up with that when I buy a device like this. My Omnia 2 with cooked roms has been plagued with issues, until I finally got a working rom.

But the main thing for me is the microSD slot - if this doesn't have one I will be p'd off because I want this tablet. I don't like storing lots of crap on the internal flash and having to constantly delete and copy new files over due to space limitations. if the internal flash fails it's screwed, so better to put all temp data etc on external microSD, if that dies you buy a new one and pop it in and your back in business....

But as the previous poster said only time will tell with this one unfortunately
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Berner:
I've never had the internal flash on a device fail, but I've had plenty of microSD cards and other swapable storage cards bug out, glitch, and fail to be recognized. I guess swapable cards can be more convenient for transferring files from machine to device and back (depending on your setup and usage), but I certainly would never tout reliability as a feature or benefit of swapable cards.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
Hi,

picture/info card above was taken at Samsung Mobile Live in Poland.

Samsung has about 20 stand like this in most major cities in Poland - working for 1 month.

Now... there are differences between Gtab presented at those stands.

1. In my opininion 1,2 Ghz is a mistake made be someone, perhaps PR/marketing agency and it will have 1 Ghz Tegra 2 -> see what happend at Vodafone website?

2. I have been to 2 stands both had a white GTab with sim slot but no microSD. I ahve asked and been told it is not a production model.

3. One of them was running pure honeycomb 3.0.1 - cool.

4. The other one was running Andorid 3.1 with TouchWiz - I have to say this UI is much better (more useful, convenient and user friendly) than pure HC UI. It feels the gaps on where google did not made the extra step (like notification area). If I will buy this tab this will be my UI of choice - it is just good (at least form what I seen).

I have to say that it would be great is good old Sammy would give us the option to install/uninstall TouchWiz as we please.

5. I do have an info regarding GTab from one more city. Model there was black, with sim slot and microSD slot on top (if you have any frinds in Cracow, please ask them to confirm this).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jackie_jagger:
Good morning guys,

I'll be posting the pics by about 2:00PM GMT. I'm at work now. to clear some doubts and questions people had, the devices were said to have flown in from U.S. ( I am in Dubai, U.A.E) - the one I was using certainly wasn't running 3.1 and it certainly wasn't Verizon LTE model.

It is possible that the device differs in regions, I did check quadrant on all of them, about 1950 was the Max I got on the 10.1, and 1600 something on the 8.9. ALL were running the TEGRA 2 chip. I personally found 3.1 more snappier than 3.0 and the 8.9 tab had touch wiz preinstalled, it does fill in the gaps where Google missed, BUT - it slows down the device a lot (yes its a beta software, same can't be said for the final one) but for now I won't choose TouchWiz, I'd stick with the vanilla rom.

All the tabs were white in color, with an exception of a Google I/O tab that had the Android Army on the back ( it was a personal tab of one of the developers present there)

Until I post pictures, please refer to Post #5 in this same thread, It look exactly like that. I even asked a Samsung rep, he said NONE of the tabs have a MicroSD slot. now it is to be seen whether he meant during the event or the final product.

Cheers

Jackie

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
A friend of mine done the quadrant test on one of the stand in PL and score was past the 2000 - does it mean anything?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I think different versions for different regions/carriers would explain the problem (and is in-line with what Samsung have done with their other devices e.g. SGS1). The thing I can't understand is, why would they even build a version that is the same as another just without the MicroSD card slot. Surely excluding this has negligible different on weight and cost. It appears it has no affect on overall dimensions of the device. Therefore the worst case for each:

Excluding the slot at worst annoys the majority of of potential purchasers with the lack of flexibility and memory upgradable options so they look elsewhere.

Including the slot at worst has no downside at all.

And Samsung's logic for this??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
You guys remember that the microsd slot on Xoom still doesn't (officially) work? Do you know why? It's because Honeycomb doesn't support it. Yes i know that Transformer has a working sd card slot but this is thanks to Asus who somehow made it work.

There are rumors that the European Xoom's will get sd card functionality with 3.1 update. But no word on US Xooms, that's probably because the US Xoom's are Google experience devices and Google doesn't allow messing with their software.

Considering all this, it actually makes sense to me. Why include a sd slot when you can't make it work? A lot more people will complain about it if the slot is there but it doesn't work (look at Xoom). So if some of the Samsung tabs are going to be Google experience devices, then i understand why they won't have a sd card slot.

And the fact that they are not giving any info also makes sense (from the business part of view). If you tell people that there is going to be a version with microsd card slot (and maybe even with 1.2GHz CPU) in the future, who is going to buy the version that doesn't have these features?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jackie_jagger:
no, it means it still tegra 2, quadrant fluctuates each test, if I managed a 1950, I'm sure 2000 is possible, if it were Exynos it would've been blown out of water
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jackie_jagger:
OK guys, I got off work early and I'm uploading the picture of the 10.1 tab. Sadly it wasn't focused right, but if you see closely it just has a sim slot and no SD card slot.

LINK to pic here you go guys !! like I said it is exactly like the tab in post #5

Picture of the tab asking for SIM card I must say the guy told me it is MicroSIM, can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
How to you know that? Have you used a device with Exynos and a 1280x800 screen? I think that screen resolution can have a big impact on quadrant scores, so you can't just expect scores based on SGSII performance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jackie_jagger:
I agree, but just a 50 increase over the tegra 2? I'm sure that Exynos can do much much beter !!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Thats true, and also Honeycomb is pretty much different compare to Froyo.

The output must also be different. Noone knows how Exynos will perform on Honeycomb at 1280x800 screen resolution on Samsung hardware.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
Motorola advertised the SD card slot as a feature that would work with a future software update. For Motorola's reputation, I would sure hope they do enable that SD card slot eventually. They haven't even rolled out the 4G upgrades yet though. So I think it's just a matter of time before SD (and 4G) become available.

ASUS was able to add micro SD. And no disrespect to ASUS, but if an Android newcomer like ASUS could figure it out, I'm pretty sure Samsung could very easily add micro SD to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 if they wanted to.

It was a choice by Samsung not to add micro SD.

And Samsung has made it clear by showing off TouchWiz UX on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 that these devices are not meant to be Google Experiences.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
I don't understand the previous posters logic comparing to xoom and stating he can understand why Samsung wouldn't include microSD..

ummm! The microSD is not new tech, "IF" android 3.1 TRULY doesn't support it I would be surprised, but even if Android didn't support it NOW, then why not Include it with a press statement JUST as Xoom has done with 4G.

Actually having the hardware there KNOWING it's going to work in the next couple of months is better than not having it there at all - what you think they will be doing in field hardware upgrades to all the units? nfw!

It comes down to this as far as I am concerned WAIT A LITTLE WHILE LONGER - if it doesn't include it I GUARANTEE there will be a G-TAB v2 in about 4 months that will include it, and will probably include the Pentile wqxga and quad core cpu.

AND THERE"S MORE :P - IF the GUARANTEE doesn't come to fruition and it seems like being next year they will release the v2 THEN GO OUT AND BUY THE 10.1 or 10.1v at that point!

I tell you what I want - the FREAKING 10.1 WITH microSD, and WQXGA (and as per another developers comments stating that he thinks the dual core Tegra just doesn't cut it) A QUAD CORE CPU!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111352 (post #7)

If they were to do that they would blow ALL competition out of the water. But of course you can't take into account people who just buy a brand because it's a brand name they know and "trust", even though there is a better product with more for same or less cost.

The main thing here is from ALL accounts around the internet 2011 is crazy time for the Tablet market. I have been seen saying in these forums i was thinking about the Xoom, but it doesn't even register as a possibility any more because of all the things people are saying about it, and in comparison with other products that have been released only 1 or 2 months after the Xoom it's outdated, buggy, HEAVY and the screen is not so crash hot.

And yes before someone says that's the way it is in IT that as soon as you buy something it's outdated... well it's not quite the case. You can buy the best video card in the world and it will still kickass a year or 2 later. What we are talking about here however is you buy the 10.1 now and MAYBE in 2 or 4 months they release the v2 with everything that v1 didn't include and you will be left feeling sour (unless of course you are one of the lucky ones ie RICH and have one of every TAB to-date, or are in the US and have fantastic returns policies, or you have access to e-bay and can sell the old for a reasonable price and pick up the v2)

Anyways that's my 2 cents worth :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] freonix:
Sounds like you never heard of a thing called... marketing. Apple would be rich if it dished every single up to date tech into their product, and people are suckers for things that are new.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
lol - yeah yeah i know - it's why they can get away with it all the time - it's quite depressing really. That has and always will be my beef with Apple, not releasing tech when they could, only to release it 3 to 6 months later in another product. It's... annoying to say the least.

On another note the exynos 1.2ghz performance... hmmm. Why wouldn't they stick this in the 10.1 if it is really giving 50% performance increase (in the S2 screen class that is).

http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...numbers-with-the-new-exynos-based-1-2-hz-cpu/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] freonix:
New chips are industry experimental. Wafer yield and quality fluctuates and its unstable. Maybe that's the reason you'll see it in S2 but not in tabs. Its a hardware and software maturity issue. I'm just basing this cause I'm in semiconductor industry.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
Because (as many suspect) they have sold to many of those chips to Apple and they do not have enough for themselves. Hence Galaxy S II is sold both with Exynos and Tegra 2.

But if it will be true, that 3G will not have sd slot (not to mention about exynos) it will make the whole business of going back to the lab with 10.1v pointless. If all they have done is make it thinner and with the worse camera :-).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
but the 10.1v I think has the microSD, so they've made it thinner, put in crappy back camera and removed the microSD (wtf?!?) lol.

But on a side note that sort of makes me feel not so bad about losing the 8MP camera is they have also upgraded the screen to PLS and made some other enhancements I read somewhere else - but it doesn't make me happy if they aren't going to include the microSD.

Anyways I have reluctantly decided to just wait another month or two and see if the rumors about the version that includes wqxga screen, quad core and microSD are true. I think they will be as there is also a rumor of a motorola that will be quad core by q3 or q4 this year, and i'm sure that samsung won't want to be ousted by that the way this one will be ousting the iPad 2 :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
I wish you are right... but somehow it looks like much to quick for a new generation of tablets to reach shops this year.

Tablets were promised (with almost 2days specs) back in 2010.

It is almost a 1 year later and they start to hit the stores.... what will happen to all those tablets in production and in shipment if new generation will show up?

On some markets even current tablets are not on sale yet.

And new generation can be "a bit" more expensive but not to much from the current one. Look at prices of iPad 1 and 2....

You are not going to pay double just because it has quad core cpu. And if it is in the same price as current dual core who will buy "old" ones?

On the other hand Xoom is not selling well (and will not be, unless it is much cheaper than Transformer - and this does not look likely) - so Motorola must be thinking about Xoom 2.

And two tablets announced by Amazon (1 of them being quad core) - they migh be here q4... - before Xmass.

This would mean start of information flow September (October at the latest) about this tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
There are certain concerns now out in the developer world that the dual core just can't cut it with certain video playback - and that might mean certain other cpu intensive apps/games may get released sooner rather than later at the rate development is being pushed out for android that would suffer as well...?

However won't a quad core require more power and therefore a heavier battery and overall heavier tablet...?

Maybe for what I need it for this one might be good enough just the freaking microSD question - however look at the other post next to this one stating there WILL be microSD MIGHT have exynos... maybe it will and we are worrying needlessly about the microSD and the exynos may resolve cpu issues? :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I don't think quad core can be that quickly "available" to purchase.

Because all the new dual core are still new!

ASUS TF is just 1 or 2 months released.

Come on, the GT 10.1 is not even released yet here in Europe.

It could, but that would be stupid business decision to give current product a very short time life.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
lol yeah I agree man - but that's what everyone is saying is going to happen... just have to see if the rumor mill is true
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
You completely misunderstood what I was trying to say I believe.

My point was even though Android 3.x doesn't natively support micro SD, it seems apparent that adding it isn't that hard and Samsung is more than capable of doing it if they wanted to. They even showed off demo units with it.

So I was just arguing that Android not having native micro SD support was not a valid excuse for not including in the tablet, in my opinion anyway.

I think this is a business decision. I think Samsung is modeling themselves after Apple too much. They want to get customers to pay an extra $100 for a mere extra 16GB of flash storage, that is mostly profit for them.

Look at the craziness with their accessories. Keyboard dock has no USB, HDMI, or, SD slots. Instead you have to buy the 30 pin to USB, 30 pin to HDMI, and 30 pin to SD adapters. You have to buy accessories for your accessories. Haha.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Berner:
IMHO some of you guys obsess over the SD slot way too much. The average consumer only wants to know how many songs and how many movies they can fit on the device -- they don't care whether the storage is internal or swapable. The percentage of folks that even understand the difference is probably less than 1% of the target consuming audience.

Not to mention, even for the 1% that do understand, some portion of those believe (as I do) that swapable storage is an outdated, flawed concept. If I have digital content, I want it on

all

my devices simultaneously-- not merely the device that happens to have the correct SD card. Whether its some form of cloud storage or cloud sync, or both, that's the direction I want to see things move toward.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Exactly!

I still remember that I have almost never took out the micro sd card from my htc desire phone, it was 16 gb micro sd card.

And now I have nexus s and it does not have micro sd card, again I dont miss it.

I dont know, probably because I dont store movie files in it, but thats me.

For me, cloud and streaming is the way to go. I can get my content anywhere, everywhere, anytime, from any devices.

Oh and I hate the experience once when my micro sd card was corrupted while I was on holiday. That bloody micro sd card contains my tomtom maps. Guess what, the whole holiday was without gps navigation!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
This is XDA. We aren't exactly "average consumers" here. :p

But I agree, average consumers don't care, because they don't realize what a rip off paying $100 more for 16GB of additional storage is. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
I do not agree.

Average consumer also has a digital camera with sd card and I probably would like to have a way to transfer photos while on holidays or get few extra movies on card/cards while going away.

It is the easiest way to exchange bigger files.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
One thing i don't understand, you all are going on holiday to watch movies!?

And i guess i don't belong here, as i don't care about the sdcard slot. Currently i have 24,5GB free on my Xoom, i have no idea what to do with a sd card slot (even if it worked). But thats me, i'm sure there are persons who watch movies on their vacation and i understand that then it's needed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
For me it's not that I'm going to be watching all those movies, it's just that I can store a lot and have options of what to watch on a flight. When you encode 720p movies for a tablet they usually end up around 1.8-2+ gigs each movie.

SD card built isn't a deal breaker for me either. I think it's more of the fact that if a microSD had been built in, I could've probably just spent $50 for a 32gb microsd card on top of the $499 16gb and had 48gb for $550 vs a 32gb for $599. If Samsung releases the SD adapter I could still do 48gb for probably $570 or so assuming the adapter will be $20. I don't mind adapters since I'll only be watching movies on a plane.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
@poisike: Have you got kids? Streaming is not always an option. Trust me ;-)

Since Samsung officially confirmed no microsd for 3g either (Facebook Samsung PL) I will buy something to get me by - Transformer 3G.

+ if there is no Netflix client there is not much to stream :-( (at least for me).

I might as well get a lighter, more efficient netbook instead. :-(

Now, I am thorn between Transformer (it is cheaper) - just to wait for next gen of tablets or just wait and not buy anything.

Samsung: I am truly disappointed :-(
