[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I voted NO ... :(

If you know me from this board, I was trying and trying to get one imported from US (I live in Europe), but I got string of issues for that. Well, that's not the reason that I do not recommend this device, not at all. However, I took that as blessing in disguise :)

You know, I have no problem at all with the hardware. I don't mind Tegra 2 and I even prefer Tegra 2 compare to Exynos (mainly because I want THD gaming more compare to watching video). Also, I don't mind for not having SD card. And I really love the form factor, slim, thin, slick!

Now, why I don't recommend this tab?

Well, mainly because I am not sure with the current state of Android Honeycomb! I keep reading issues and bugs (?) on this new OS. For example: The slow (lag) text input on web browser, I don't think I can live with this issue because I use web browser a lot (right now, I am using my wife's iPad2). For me, this is crucial issue. From what I read, this is Honeycomb bug/issue as other tablets are experiencing the same.

So, yeah, I am now taking a break from finding my dream Android tablet. Until Google fixed this issue and other quirks on Honeycomb (like the sluggish performance on launcher, 4GB file size limit etc.). Which I think the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich will address all this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] khanable:
I voted no.

I like my galaxy tab, but honeycomb still has a long way to go. I bought it mainly for browsing the net and it can hardly do that correctly. lol
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I too think that the current generation of Android tablet software/hardware have been rushed to market to compete with iPad/iPad2. While Android and the manufacturers have done an excellent job for the given time frame, I think the 2nd generation of software/hardware will be a massive improvement. Google are taking their time to release Ice Scream Sandwich which is reassuring. The fact they haven't released source code for Honeycomb just further supports this. And while even the 2nd generation of tablet hardware will have issues as well, I think the main issues will be resolved regarding Android integration on tablet (i.e. performance).

I know full well that waiting for the next generation is a never-ending game but allowing the 1st generation to pass and waiting upon the 2nd generation isn't a bad strategy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rhyno77:
I vote yes.

Granted, honeycomb still has some work to be done (hopefully with the 3.2 update "in a few weeks"), but I'm more than happy with mine. I haven't really experienced the keyboard lag people are talking about, so I can't comment there, but I wasn't happy with the sometimes jittery motion while swiping through home screens. Installed adw launcher and I'm loving how fast it is now.

Early adoption sucks.. I owned a xoom before this, so maybe I can appreciate it more. That being said, I also have an ipad and ipad2 in the house, and I would take this any day of the week.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EggoEspada:
I think you should just pick one up and see how you feel about it. Many will say dont bother, and many will say its the greatest. Personally I love mine, regardless of the state of Honeycomb I'm in it for the long run. But its best you form your own opinion and now based your purchases on others completely.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jackie_jagger:
my question exactly, I can get it at a local dealer - decent price BUT no local warranty - he promises to ship it back and handle everything if it goes wrong ! should I take the leap or should I wait or just pick up the Transformer instead?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markp99:
Really depends on the user.

No - to my parents, sisters, wife, other newbs. The ramp is still just a bit too steep still on .any. Honeycomb tab device. Froyo is much more completely baked as a general consumer-ready OS.

Yes - to any enthusiast who wants to dig into the device, config/customize/root, etc.

Maybe TouchWiz will add a little to the newb acceptance factor...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dulaney22:
There are certainly some quirks with HC on the tab. I didn't seem to have as many issues with 3.1 on my Xoom. However, there isn't a better screen or sound out there right now. All my complaints are software related and will either be corrected by Google or out developers. I give it 2 thumbs up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Berner:
I voted "Yes" even though I disagree with the way the option is written. The Tab has issues, of course, but its more than usable. Maybe I just have mine set up better than some, but I have almost no problems at all with anything on the device. The Tab is neither buggish nor slow, so I really don't see how anyone could credibly choose the "No" option.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
Yes, I would buy a Galaxy Tablet...

...after ICS and next wave of tabs have come out, so I can pick it up on Black Friday for $250 and put CM8 on it!

No early adopter am I... :( oops I mean :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Doinshots:
I voted yes, but it all depends on what you expect from a tab.

It is running an OS designed for small, portable devices.

I look at it like a 'handyman' device; a jack of all trades, and a master of none. It plays games, but not as well as a console. It browses the web/email, but not as good as a netbook. It handles business needs for working with documents, but not as well as a PC.

I just don't understand why so many people expect it to be a laptop replacement.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
IF you're uncomfortable with the uncertainties behind Honeycomb and IceCreamSandwich:

-AND aren't willing to root, don't buy any Android tablet now.

-AND ARE willing to root OR don't mind Honeycomb:

--AND value expandibility over fit and finish or low cost, get a Transformer.

--AND don't need expansion, want a more polished tablet, and don't mind paying more, get a Galaxy Tab.

--AND don't need expansion, don't mind some rough edges, want to get your feet wet in Android without spending a lot, and are ok with Gingerbread, get a Nook Color to root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] akarol:
He states that he needs a Honeycomb tablet, so stop voting NO because you think HC is not mature.

YES! GT10.1 is the best Honeycomb tablet out there bar-none!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
Can you put this into an IF-THEN-ELSE statement? I can I think follow it better that way.. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
Those aren't allowed in General.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] davemex:
Yes, absolutely.

Does honeycomb have some issues? Yes. That being said this is a beautiful device and in my opinion, worth the price over the other HC tablets just for a refined form factor. Awesome screen, very polished design.

I bought this device to be able to quickly access news, email and calendars, to be able to view office documents in meetings without having to drag my laptop around, and lastly to entertain myself on flights. This device does all of those perfectly. Even iPad 1&2 owners that have stopped by to check the device out were absolutely blown away.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bakobitz:
Wow, the wording on this poll is pretty extreme - the best you can say about the Tab is that it's "still usable." Well I've had mine for a week now, and I absolutely love it. Having played with every other Android tablet out there, as well as the iPad, I think it wins hands down.

1. I don't get what people dislike about Honeycomb. It has so many features and is much more intuitive than my Froyo phone; why aren't people complaining more about the iPad's lack of a widget architecture? That's HUGE in my experience. iOS just gives you a screen with a bunch of icons, and jumping from app to app, while we have sophisticated widgets that put enormous functionality right on the home screens.

2. Flash is important. A few quick hacks and you can also watch Hulu (lame that it's not automatically allowed, I admit). But there is Flash on half the sites I visit, and the Tab does a great job with it. Having used Flash on a couple phones previously, I can say this is a big leap forward with 10.3 and the Tegra 2 processor. I can't imagine why every reviewer doesn't disqualify the iPads on that basis alone - it's a deal breaker.

3. In terms of other Android tablets, the Tab 10.1 has by far the best screen I've seen - it's beautiful. And the thin/light thing really makes a difference to me when it comes to a tablet that you have to hold in your hands 90% of the time you're using it. Plus, it's just a much more attractive design than the others I played with. I like the Transformer's additional ports and keyboard dock, but I have a laptop and a netbook and I don't want a tablet to substitute for those. I want it to be a tablet. That's what the Tab 10.1 does best.

In sum, it's not "still usable," it's the best tablet currently on the market.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fyahstarter:
I think this sums it up. Android lacks the polish of iOS, but it's so damn fun exploring the endless possibilities of Android. Provided it's software related, there's also another option that works just as well or better. I have faith that any issues that currently exist will be resolved in due time. The hardware is great and I can work with the software.

[HTC EVO 3D] phyba:
So after reading these forums I see some people experience lag while the majority don't. Also I see the same people who experience lag also complain of green hue/tint on their photos as well. Well I'm one of those people. No matter what I do my phone lags scrolling through homescreens, camera freezes every other time I use it.

I'm going by sprint today to play with the demo unit to see how it compares to mine. I don't remember it being laggy when I played with it on launch day.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Try a hard reset to see if that fixes your problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] phyba:
I did. But i posted a thread my first day about the lag. But its no better. The weather live paper locks my phone up after about a minute...and my screen is yellow. I'm gonna see how the phone on display at sprint looks. If its better , I'm going to swap it out for a new one
[HTC EVO 3D] thecalip:
no problem here.

I actually feel the stock rom could be a keeping. Everything just works and very snappy.
[HTC EVO 3D] scarface983:
my camera doesnt even load. Its goes to a black screen, i did a hard reset, factory reset, and still nothing, i called and they are going to send me a brand new phone. i should be getting it today or tomorrow.
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
I don't have any green tints but i do get lag when scrolling in the market and some apps. Also the camera freezes sometimes after taking pics and i need to go and fc it.... Hope it's a software issue that can't be fixed by an ota.

[HTC EVO 3D] smalltownbird:
I just loaded the hybrid prl to my phone and went from 1-2 bars about a quarter mile from a tower to 5-6 bars about a quarter Mike from a Verizon tower. This shows me that its not the phone that gets a bad signal, it is the service. I came from Verizon and I am used to everything working all the time, but on Sprint there are times a text won't go through. Does anyone know if I can do something to the phone to not show that I am roaming on Verizon now?
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
even if your phone shows ur not roaming it will on your bill and you will get kicked
[HTC EVO 3D] thecalip:
what roaming? I thought sprint has free roaming?

This no longer the case?
[HTC EVO 3D] green91:
Can you give me some info on how you changed to the verizon prl?
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
You can't hide that. Just like you can't hide your phone from 911. Verizon is aware of your number roaming. They will charge sprint for every minute and kilobyte you use. Since your are using verizon constantly, sprint will be charged a lot for your use. They will then, sooner rather than later, terminate your contract...and again soon. See it happen in these forums before.

Your brand new evo3d will then be without a service.

What do you expect? You can't root and bypass your way past everything. Sometimes you have to pay for stuff. Plus, sprint is the only unlimited data carrier left. If people continue to do as you are doing, and teether, etc...then that unlimited data may become limited.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
OK. Two things I don't understand. PRL noob so go easy...

First, our phones automatically roam Verizon's towers for both cell service and 3G. Mine does it all the time. So why would we need another PRL? When the Sprint signal gets weak enough, it's going to use Verizon towers anyway.

Second, both Sprint and Verizon have had a "free roaming" agreement for over a year. The way it was explained to me at my local store, the agreement is that Sprint and Verizon both share towers so in the (less likely) situation where Verizon coverage is weak and there is a Sprint tower nearby, Verizon phones will actually roam on Sprint. The way it was explained to me: neither company is "renting time" from the other's towers so I don't think Sprint is paying out the wazoo (at all in fact) for Sprint customers roaming on Verizon towers.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
The PRL the OP put into place makes his phone roam on verizon constantly. A PRL serves as a handshake between the phone and the towers. Standard PRL looks for sprint towers, and if none are present it looks for verizon. The OP seems to have installed a prl that looks for verizon towers first.

You may be right about the free roam agreement, but sprint still cancels people's service if they are abusing this. Just happened in the Evo forums. There may be a free roam agreement, but verizon won't tolerate sprint customers exclusively using their bandwidth if they are not paying for it. They will then tell sprint that so and so number needs to be cut. Then sprint will send you a letter saying your contract is to be terminated on so and so date due to excess roaming. So, theoretically, this could happen to someone who has sprint, but lives in a sprint dead zone where they have to use verizon all the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Do it for long enough and they will cancel your service.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Where we live is a Sprint dead zone. Occasionally we do pick up the distant Sprint tower and my service says "Sprint" but I'd say at least 75% of the time my phone is using a Verizon tower since I work at home. Never got a spanking. :) Of course, I guess if I changed my PRL and they noticed I'm on all sorts of different Verizon towers (even where there is good Sprint coverage), maybe then they'd raise an eyebrow? I wonder if their setup is sophisticated enough to detect that you use Verizon towers all over town as opposed to using one particular tower all the time just because you live in a fringe area. Interesting.

What we really need is not a new PRL: we need the ability to change the phone's preferences so it switches to Verizon's towers earlier. For example, switch to Verizon towers ANY time the Verizon signal is better... not just when the Sprint signal becomes so weak it drops out.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
FYI, they still send out free Airave's. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] smalltownbird:
I'm not doing this to cheat Sprint. I can't even make a phone call at times and that can be dangerous and frustrating. I usually switch it to Verizon prl before work and back to Sprint in the evening. But I'm usually on WiFi all the time except at work. Today is day 30 or my 30 days. Maybe I should go back to Verizon
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Ya i got one coming myself
[HTC EVO 3D] crabjoe:
Yup.. I've got one, but haven't activated it yet... It kind of sux that I have to use my in-home broadband bandwidth to get decent service from Sprint.

Another thing that sux is that when I'm out on the water (Chesapeake Bay), Verizon has solid service where Sprint's service is spotty. Sprint's PRL is also set to NOT roam on these Verizon towers, causing a battery drain like there's no tomorrow.

Looks, like I might have to start using a Verizon PRL,when going out fishing..
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
How are you switching PRLs? The ##PRL# EPST code doesn't seem to work for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
Be careful with that Verizon PRL, after moths of using it, Sprint will call you and will cancel your account
[HTC EVO 3D] mevensen:
Roaming data is not unlimited. So, if you roam every once in a while and pull down your latest email or check a map, etc., you'll be fine. If you're always on roaming data and pull too much data, you will be dropped. I've heard different numbers for the limits, but there is one.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
Whatever happened to the ability to force roaming? On older devices we used to be able to pick "Sprint Only" "Automatic" and "Roaming".

I would always do that when I was getting crap Sprint signal.
[HTC EVO 3D] smalltownbird:
I switched them using qpst. I have about 7 or 8 different prls saved to my computer I switch to to see what works the best.

Hi

I received today my new SGS2 locked. I tryed to install firmware 3 files+pit so i can unlock it. At the pit file Odin stopped and after about 3 mins I unplugged the data cable.

Now I can't turn it on, charge or anything else!

Can anyone help me ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epic-Emodude:
Can you get it back into Download mode so you can re-flash firmware?

Why did you flash the pit in the first place? (All tutorials tell you not to do this)

If you cant get it to boot into anything (download or recovery) then I don't know if its possible to restore it...

You might also want to try taking the battery out and putting it back in again if you havent already

You install the wrong pit file .?????

What instructions are you following .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarryRag:
It is possible to repartition but you would need the proper set of files that support it.

If i'm right (not sure though) you can do it with a set that contain the "_user_low_ship" in the pda name.

The download on samfirmware of the I9100XWKF1 does have this, containing odin 1.85, a 3 set for pda, modem and csc, and pit file.

Also update Odin to 1.83
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mboncalo:
It's useless now because the phone is dead. I can't enter download or recovery mode. I can't turn it on or charge it... :(

What can I do now ? I guess it's not possible to be completely broken
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pume:
Send it for a repair and hope it won't be a too costly one or the repair guys cannot turn it on either to find out you tried to flash a SGS firmware on it. Also Odin is now going in version 1.8x so you should update your flashing software too.
