[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chubby_Skunk:
So I really want a Android 3.x Tab. and I really don't want an iPad 1 or 2. So since the Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB is $499 and got a good review and thought it would be great!

So....

Should I go pick one up or should i wait?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
Way I see it it's a good buy if you want something now...

There are things that I know are coming but are probably not until early to mid next year and these are...

300+ DPI screen (much brighter and more battery efficient too!)

and

Quad Cores with a decent GPU included (Tegra 2 GPU is meh)

I love the slim and lightness of the 10.1

I wont get another tablet until it has those features and is equally as light and thin and I know there wont be anything coming out this year that ticks all those boxes.

Also Galaxy Tab is unlocked and was the official Google dev tablet so you know you're going to get good support here on XDA ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSeeker:
It's a great tab but Samsung can be pretty sluggish with bringing out updates and imho they've messed up with the 10.1/10.1v/GoogleIO 10.1 model confusion and appear to be more interested in generating promotional materials than supporting their user base.

The Samsung app suite has little or no publicly listed support for the 10.1 range - even though they have the apps on the devices (take a look at samsung apps, samsung drive, etc for an example of what devices they support).

I love my Samsung 10.1v - but if was buying again for the first time - I'd consider the Asus Transformer a little more. They've been a bit more proactive with pushing out updates.

I thought the Xoom was the only Google Experience Tablet? If Samsung pushes out Touchwiz doesn't that change the GT10.1 from the standard software?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk63:
I'm hoping the Touchwiz skin really is only skin deep and that we can switch back to stock Honeycomb without issues. I wouldn't be surprised if Google is twisting the manufacturer's arm to make this be the case.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSeeker:
TouchWiz isn't just a launcher - it's pretty pervasive.

It looks like at least some TouchWiz components will be needed just to get updates. Currently you need a Samsung account (part of the suite of apk's installed with TouchWiz) to update the firmware.

Not that TouchWiz is all bad. Once you remove many of the widgets from the Homescreens - it's fairly pleasant to use.

The most important aspect needed is restyling the theme & some perf enhancements then I think most people will be happy.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscline:
FWIW, Tegra 3 is due out later this year, though I expect you are right that they probably won't be as thin/light as the Galaxy. Motorola and Asus are among the first ones due out with Tegra 3 tablets, and at least in the case of the Asus, I expect the form factor will be similar to the current device, since compatibility with the existing dock is expected.

The initial ones were unlocked, but it appears that newer ones are starting to show up locked. Personally, I wouldn't expect better "XDA support" on the Galaxy vs. others.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ansextra:
True but keep in mind they were given out by Samsung not by Google.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
The only thing I don't like about the 10.1 (and pretty much every other honeycomb tablet) is that they're all Tegra 2 and frankly... it stinks. It can't do 720p playback very well and the GPU "acceleration" is still quite choppy. I'm not sure why Samsung didn't just stick their Exynos into the tab but I suppose the drivers just aren't available in Honeycomb. It's a bit strange having a phone that's WAY more powerful even underclocked at 500mhz my Galaxy S2 still records and plays back 1080p fine. I can dump 1080p MKV files from my computer with no formatting onto the phone and it plays them back flawlessly while the tablet can't even play back 720p MKV's without problems.

The main thing that I want to use the tablet for is browsing on a bigger screen... which is alright but the browser is just not as smooth as "other" fruit flavored tablets. Also when not in landscape mode the thing just gets even more choppier. It feels like I'm beta testing Honeycomb for them...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I returned mine. So for me, I'm going to wait. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 was pretty nice piece of hardware. Most of my complaints were with Android 3 though. I just don't think it's ready for primetime. I had way too much frustrating issues with it and too many app crashes.

For the $600 I spent on the 32GB model, I wanted something with more polished software. My $200 Nook Color performed better with Android 2.3 (CM7).

I'm going to wait for tablets with Android 4 to launch, and preferably something without a Tegra 2 processor.

Samsung makes a crazy number of phones, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have a new thin tablet later this year for Android 4 also.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asori:
Not sure where everyone's beef with Tegra 2 is coming from. From a raw processing power standpoint, the Tegra 2 is better than Exynos and only falls behind the newer OMAP 4.

Is everyone here running the 720p videos from the device? If so, what are the files encoded by? I want to try and see if I have the same results. I stream all kinds of videos through DLNA to my Tab 10.1 and I've only noticed choppy playback on some high definition AVI files - never really took the time to troubleshoot the issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
Isn't part of the Tegra 2's problem it's lack of Advanced SIMD that everyone else seems to have?

The new TI OMAP 4 1.5GHz dual core and Nvidia Tegra 3 1.?GHz quad core both coming in Q3 got to be big performance improvements over the Tegra 2 that came out Q4 last year (feels older than that).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
I'm quite confident that Samsung's TouchWiz will come with a much faster way of playing back videos. This was the case with the stock Galaxy S series of phones. They are all still the most capable phones of playing back DivX etc when running TouchWiz...

My guess is mid next year Samsung will release a equally thin and light tablet with their latest 300+ dpi screens and a quad core processor that will handle everything that honeycomb offers without a stutter... Can't wait for it... :) Until then I've got my slim light Tab 10.1 that does the job and works great with my Android phone and Google services
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcc22:
Yes, releasing a Tegra2 tablet now is pretty late. They had their shot with 10.1v but messed up nearly everything. And with Samsung support, this device won't see a shiny future. Despite all confusion Samsung doesn't say a damn word !

Then there is the missing sd slot and ports. We even got a worse 3MP cam while the 10.1v had a 8mp one. A step in the wrong direction.

Win8 beta is close (1-2 months), apple announced ipad3, tegra3 is coming too.

A massive change is going to happen until next year. Lots of arguments against the 10.1.

GT10.1 prices will drop big time soon. 300 bucks in ~3 months i guess.

Last week I was totally hyped but now it's getting easier to wait.

Still no release in EU. There must be some massive problems with that device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
I'm considering returning mine. There are a couple of little things that makes using the tablet as my main device a bit frustrating like moody text selection, keyboard disappearing randomly sometimes, choppy videos (was trying to stream Friday Night Lights on NBC's site, and it couldn't get through the first 10 mins), lack of honeycomb optimized apps, no Netflix, and even using Facebook thru the browser is quirky.

I have 2 more days to decide, and I'm looking into just waiting for the new Samsung Series 3 notebooks to come out also.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcc22:
Hm, I checked the hits on xda. There are only 10k posts for the GT10.1 while the transformer has 45k.

Could it be low interest for this device?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broomulack:
I think it's more that the Asus has been out longer, and is also the most-sold Android Honeycomb tablet thus far.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asori:
I did a quick wiki search on Advanced SIMD (I hadn't heard about it prior to you informing me :) ) and the technology looks more like it's applied to much slower ARM processors than the ones we find in tablets. Wikipedia specifically mentions acceleration for speech decoding and MP3 audio decoding at extremely slow speeds (15 MHz and below). Does this technology also apply to decoding videos, etc, at 1,000 MHz? I could see this possibly affecting something like playing MP3s while the device is in standby, but I don't know much about this technology. :confused:

When I use the Tab (and my 7" tab as well) I'm normally streaming video from TVersity on my PC to my tab via UPnPlay & Mobo video player (on my Tab 10.1) or AllShare on my 7" tab. I also watch flash videos (up to 720p - that's the highest res video I've tried). All work very well - there is some minor stuttering with the flash video from the stock browser, I would say it will drop a few frames once every 5 minutes.

I also do some filesharing over my network - such as transferring PDF files from my PC and viewing them on my Tab. I know that's not related to the video conversation - but that works pretty smoothly as well.

You are mistaken. Issues of video playback are solely bacuse of Tgera 2 (soc/chip) limitations and have nothing to do with system itself.

Is the Tetra 2 worse than the Hummingbird in the Galaxy s series? Because they handle it fine...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
It is hard to say it as because of ARM architecture and SOC are so much different form x86. Simpy Tegra 2 SOC does not have this "hardware bit" Hummingbird has or Exynos or Omap 4. SO, although 2 CPU's (with exception of Hummingbird are the same) whole SOC is different.

I would say SOC is an equivalent of CPU + motherboard in x86 "world".

This means that you can have a few computers with C2D inside but one will have a graphics card on-board, the other one dedicated system to do 3D games and stuff (lithe Radeon HD) and third one running Nvidia CUDA will be able to decode and encode video at a completely different rate.

So... first one sucks at videos and games, second one plays 3d without issues but in both cases it is the CPU that does the video playback magic (like in Tegra 2 case). Third one plays videos flawlessly because all calculations are hardware accelerated.

Hope that clears the subject a bit. So, same system, same CPU (Cortex A9 or even older one) but different capabilities.

I would get it now, but I don't expect to really push the tablet much. It's just a toy to me, tbh. I might sell it and replace it with a Tegra 3 tablet when they come out, but only if the Tegra 3 tablets really blow me away.

As for Windows 8... I left the Windows world awhile ago. I'm not coming back. So Windows 8 doesn't really interest me much. :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcc22:
For me it's simple:

Tegra2 is late, too late and doesn't play Flash+720p fluently.

If it would, or if they fix it, then I would buy it ASAP.

I don't care about massive 3D power for gaming. All I want is fluid browsing, fluid OS and fluid flash. The first chip which can do that, wins.

If it can't play flash and movies, where is the difference to the IPAD 1 or the first generations of Android tablets? I could also go for an IPAD 1 for 300$.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thElement:
Ok, now that Im here the question can finally be answered with actual knowledge.

Unfortunately The next generation Tegra 3 quad core will still produced on the same old 40nm process as tegra 2. Its going to be another year before we see 28nm tegra 3 which is a REAL reason to upgrade.

There is only one reason to wait for tegra 3 and that is if you want to watch HD movies without recoding to baseline H.264. The video accelerator in Tegra 2 is just SLOW. It cant run the most popular H.264 encoding (high/main profile) smoothly. What does this mean? This means unless the H.264 video is encoded in baseline H.264 your tegra 2 tablet will not run it smoothly. The problem is NOBODY uses baseline H.264 anymore as its inefficient so you end up having to recode most of the HD videos you want to watch. Tegra 2 CAN do main profile H.264 but only in very low bitrate. Ive tried it.

All in all Tegra 2 SUCKS for watching H.264 HD video as you need to recode almost everything.

Is it really a big surprise thought? Tegra 2 is over a year old now and its decoders and GPU are still based off the VERY old Tegra 1 from many years ago.

It seems that there is quite big race of field of SOC's for tablets.

Shortly we should see two new Archos tablets based on Omap 4 (if I am correct this SOC has Netflix HD certificate) and gossip goes that Transformer 2 and one of Amazon tablets (both with T3 inside) will reach shops this year, before x-mass.

Archos - September, the other two - October.

Since at the moment Netflix is no go on T2 and 720p playback is (unfixable) a disappointment - I will wait.

No point of buying a device just for e-mails and few websites. I want to carry less than my current netbook not more (netbook and tablet).

I guess you should try the plexapp for streaming movies/videos and it does quite well. No I don't have to convert any movies and it plays them quite real. I'm sure they'll be adding the netflix and hulu plugins soon. Archos 101 G9 does sounds like a good option, but the look and feel is not the same also, it lacks the rear camera. But, this is technology we are talking about. As soon as something new is released, another awesome tablet is on the way in few months. There's no end to it. IMO, GTab 10.1 is the best honeycomb tablet currently available in the market.

NOTE: Try handbrake to encode your mkv videos and you wont have any issues with the playback. I did that initially and the video looked as good as the original (with some tweaking as per my liking in the settings). Now I'm loving Plex, it's the best $4.99 you can spend on an app.
