[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] akarol:
A friend of mine from work has a Thrive and I get to play with it a lot. But I still prefer my GT10.1 and this is why:

1) The GT10.1's screen is definitely superior. It takes some getting used to the vibrancy of the colors, but PLS is a bit ahead of IPS in my opinion (have an iPad 1 and owned the TF for a while). The viewing angles are just much better. It might be just me, but the Thrive is the worst fingerprint magnet I've seen. Don't have as much of an issue with my GT10.1 in that department. Also, the higher-def encoding that Toshiba introduced for the Thrive is unnoticeable to me. My friend also agrees that my screen is better.

2) There is def. a USB connector out already from Samsung. It's a bit pricey but does the job. I haven't really had the need for it, so I didn't invest. That is one of the advantages of the Thrive. If you see yourself needing that, then consider the Thrive (I'd get it over the TF. My friend also returned his TF for the Thrive and hasn't looked back).

3) I know some people have mentioned this moisture problem, but I believe the vast majority of us have NO issues with the GT10.1 at all. People tend to talk about what's wrong with their devices rather than praise it on forums. It's natural. Coming from the Tranformer, this thing is absolutely perfect. No light bleeding, dead pixels, bending, etc. Just perfect!

4) I believe the GT10.1 has the slight advantage there. Most HC tablets will yield 8-10 hours battery life. I get days and days on standby after setting the Wireless to turn off when the screen is off. If you think about it, you don't really need your tablet to provide immediate email notifications, etc. That's what your smartphone is for. Definetely can't complain about the battery life on either device. I feel that the Thrive's tiny inferiority on this department is due to having to power the other components (USB, HDMI, etc.). I might be wrong.

Basically, my decision to go with the GT10.1 came from the fact that I already have a laptop. If I didn't have a laptop/netbook, I would have considered the Thrive more. I want my tablet as a tablet nothing more. Never did I feel the need to do anything extra on my iPad 1 and I definitely don't feel that need with the GT10.1. It doesn't get any more portable and convenient than this.

Toshiba Thrive can accept SDXC cards up to 2 TB wow!

Sorry Samsung Tab 10.1 :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Danny80y:
It's just too thick....there are win 7 tabs with tons of ports and more power in almost the same form factor....:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djchad72:
I bet if you dropped the Thrive on your toe it would break your toe before the tablet. Lol. It just lacks so much in that department its a deal breaker.

If its the price you like, for the same price I'd over look the Transformer return rate, and keep returning until you get your hands on a July unit. The June units went through a less vigorous QA check to respond to demand (says the transformer forums.) Best Buy could not track which of their units were June vs. July.... or which when they would get any new ones at all(from July.)

I just needed something I could 'move into' and stay 'moved in.' There is only so many times you can setup your tablet before that is all you do is setup, tablet after tablet. I spent another $200 for the Tab10.1, but at least I am now using a tablet (and not setting it up again and again!)

The best thing to do is review the review and remarks on BestBuy.com and Amazon.com. Those reviews are easy to weed through user error and product praise or poor product.

I did the same, looked at the Thrive at OD , then went to Staples and paid $399.99 for the Galaxy.

tablets are for secondary use only
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ministerjee:
Thank you everyone for your wonderful replies. I hope Gtab won't disoppoint me.Can any pne confirm if its a PLS display screen or just a TFT ???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djchad72:
Regarding storage.... I just saw a GoFlex Seagate 500gb drive that is 1) battery powered, 2) wifi and Bluetooth enabled, and 3) $199 at Best Buy. With this drive you can store 300 movies and access from most mobile OS's wirelessly. Forget $100 32gb micro SD card slots. This makes much more sense to me. No more eject and insert. Just share and access.

This completely solves the question of which tablet has more ports and compatibility. Do you have wifi or Bluetooth? Yes! Issue resolved! Don't event take it out of your pocket or bag.

The Galaxy Tab has a Samsung Amoled screed. They produce it. If you've ever been shopping for a new flatscreen TV, you will already know Samsung is top of the heap. The Amoled and Tegra 2 processor are top notch in the market of mobility. To me the Amoled screen is superior to the iPAD2 and Asus TF IPS display. Every IPS display I've seen had light leaks around the edges. Not seen a single Amoled screen with such a defect.

It makes a big difference when viewing dark images or movies.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kirdroid:
I like my tab but it doesn't come with amoled display .... that is still only on Samsung phones.

Hopefully we will get a tablet with amoled display soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djchad72:
Sorry! It looks very similar. I had an Epic 4G and could swear the screen was Amoled. Here are the specs, just for further questions on specs.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Khyrdantai:
*******SOLVED*******

I don't even know how, but I was changing the LCD density on my phone and I didn't like it, so I went to fix it back to 240, and the entire thing was blank when I entered text editor (Using Root Explorer btw). I just exited it to make sure it was the right file, and then it's gone. GONE.

I'm a little scared. Could someone please post a build.prop for the Samsung Infuse 4G?

Oh, and if it matters, I'm on Infused 1.5.3

BTW: I did back up the file before touching the original, but the backup is gone, too.

FIXED: Downloaded the Custom ROM, extracted, emailed myself the file, copied back to directory. Yup.
[Acer Iconia A500] moog70:
Has anyone tried to do a factory reset after a successful OTA update to build 4.010.11 in the US? And if so, have you noticed the following:

1.) original icon of android logo wearing a hard hat during reinstall has been replaced by android logo (neon look) with spinning gears.

2.) browser bookmarks now contains a link to the Acer Store UK site.

Please confirm if anyone is getting the same thing during a factory reset after the OTA update.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Aye. Though why do you ask?
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Well being in the US means Acer's UK site, while language accesible, isn't the right market.
[Acer Iconia A500] moog70:
Bingo! Acer could have done a better job in localizing the browser bookmarks given that they have multiregional builds. Although I am not sure if UK and US share the same build which would explain why. I was curious and wanted to be sure I am not the only one seeing this after a factory reset.

Hi, I am new here and also a complete NOOB to all of this. I found and am using the roto modem switch method. I like it, but like many of you wish there was no reboot involved. I honestly dont know know exactly what the modem even does. But I do know that TMO usa blocks voice calls on this device. I also know that TMO does not allow (data while roaming) on any of there mobile broadband devices. So I guess my question would be. Has, anybody looked past the voice block and looked into the roaming block? or are these 2 issues intertwined?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naimmkassim:
Pardon me if this question sound stupid.

Is your carrier only provide sim card if you buy their phone or tab?

If you can buy free sim card, i think why not you buy unbranded tab also. Then use the free sim card to the tab. The tab should function right? Did TMO can detect if you do so? In my place, my carrier have no right to block my account for any tab or phone brand i use.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Please remember this discussion is for a T-Mobile tab in the US. . .

I say that up front because some have claimed that their t-mobile tab has voice and 3g with only one modem in a few countries (Spain, Isreal, China).

I used a SimpleMobile sim in my t-mobile tab and had the same restriction (voice or data). But I want too surprised at this because SimpleMobile is using t-mobile service.

Other than SimpleMobile, there is no pay as you go plans that use t-mobile frquencies.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naimmkassim:
Ohh,,i see. I feel sorry to TMO customer than. Luckly, my carrier in my country did not have the same rule as what TMO had did to your guys :(. I personally belive it have something to do with their business way, how TMO want to get profit from it or due to politic, or technology limitation etc (or maybe i'm wrong?)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naimmkassim:
One more question. In the US, or TMO for billing part, when you make a call for sure they will billing you. How about the person that receive a call? Did they get billing also for call that they receive? I heard about this thing, but could not confirm either its true. In my country, for all carrier, only the person that make call getting billing.

Sorry, im not a traveller. Did not go out of my country. 1st time i go to Japan due to job matter was 4 years ago :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
In the US, both sides pay for the call. Both sides use their allowed minutes.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herr_ando:
2 days ago my son was born and I used my HTC HD7 to take all pictures and videos of him and my wife, these were the most amazing and precious moments of my life and I captured them all on my phone.

My wife and I both have identical HD7 phones, last night I took my phone home and charged a spare battery for her, today I took this to hospital and we both turned our phones off and waited until the "goodbye" sreen had vanished, and then swapped the batterys over in the phones so she had the fully charged battery and I had the low/quarter full battery. When she switched on her phone, everything was fine, but when I switched on mine I saw some screen flash up saying something about "pressing the volume buttons to erase your phone" I paniced at this point and did a stupid thing and took out the battery again. After I put it back in it booted up and gave me the "seup windows phone" screen. At this point I switched my phone off and havent swiched it back on since.

Is there any hope of recoverying the pictures and videos? Apps, contactacts etc I dont care about, but these are the most important moments of my life I want to recover. I have no idea what happened, but at the moment I am very upset.

I am an IT technician myself, and in the past it has been all stored on the memory card, but there is no way to remove the memory card on this phone. I am willing to destroy the phone to preserve this data if needed, Is there any way I could remove the memory card? I could try some data recovery software if this is the case.

Please help, the might be a simple way to sort this I haven't been able to find. I have now been up 36 hours as my wife has had a lot of complications and lost a lot of blood last night and ended up having a transfusion. Sorry to be so personal, but I am really desperate to save these photos.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downloaderintruder:
you might have accidentally held the volume button when you turned on the device, and that triggered that factory reset feature.

I have done this accidentally with my trophy as well when i was running late for work, but instead of removing the battery, i held down the power button and tried again, but when it turned on it didnt show me a setup one where you type in your windows live id, instead my one was an image of a windows phone suggesting to connect to a laptop via USB cable, again i didnt panic and turned off the screen and held down the volume button and the power button and i did trigger the factory reset in purpose, once i was at the factory reset screen, pressing any other button (camera key, and sleep/wake/power key) apart from the volume keys disables the reset feature and will continue to boot to wp7.

I dont know if Im helping, but thats how I resolved my situation.

How to remove memory card

Hi Herr_ando,

Firstly Congratulations on becoming a father :)

Secondly do not worry all is not lost, if you cannot get the handset to boot normally you can remove the memory card (without voiding the warranty too) A lot of people figured this out when they had fist purchased the HD7 and have since used the following video clip to help them upgrade the memory card size:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EcGUX3NwnQ

I have done this myself but had trouble when reading the memory card via a dongle (this is due to the differing format used by WP7) the way i got round this was either by putting the memory card into an old N97 nokia phone and using the pc software to remove the pictures from it or to use a flash drive recovery app found via google.

Hope this helps,

Creamy ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
It doesn't sound like you actually performed a factory reset so it's probably fine... but if you want to be safe, pull out the SD card like the previous post says. It might make you factory reset after putting it back in, but if you already save your pics and videos, who cares, right?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
It's okay to take out the SD card and put it back as long as the phone isn't turned on in the meantime and nothing is written to the SD card.

So it's okay if you use the SD card to recover photos and put it back in, as long as the phone stays off in this time.

@herr_ando: Congratulations on becoming a father!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herr_ando:
Hi guys, thanks for the congratulations.

I tried removing the memory card and plugged it into a card reader, no joy reading this card, in fact it wouldnt even detect. I also tried putting it into my Toshiba Camileo, which I know deffo supports SDHC cards of this size, was unable to see it at all.

Also tried it in a new laptop, with a micro > full size adaptor, no joy, and a blackberry 8520 with mass storage enabled still cant read this card, when I choose disable mass storage it tells me the memory card isn't formatted.

I know Windowsphone7 files on the memory card isn't supposed to be accessable outside the OS but this makes data recovery impossible for me.

If this was a PC HDD or standard SD card I could run some data recovery software, and try to recover these files even if the card has been formatted. but I have no idea how to do this for this card... any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Sadly, you need a Nokia cell as stated above, to read the card. Their OS is the only one that supports the partition format & password protection. I have 2 SD Cards that won't work on anything other than a Nokia cell because of this. They came out of a Nokia MusicXpress & Nuron my room mate had.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herr_ando:
Hi mate

So you reckon if I buy a Nokia 5230 or similar I should be able to read this card? I should be able to pick one of these up for £35 or so, well worth it to get these photos back.

I have no experiance of nokia phones since the old days of my 3310. Do i need to use nokia software or does this present itself as a removable hdd in windows?

Many thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Creamy stated the n97. I'm not family with all this as I never done it, but there's a lot of threads regarding this. People using Nokia phones to unlock & reformat SD card so they'll work for other devices. As to what devices this work on, I'm not sure, but as long as the card hasn't been erased yet, it's possible that a Nokia phone will be able to read the card & transfer files to your pc. You can look through the forum for more information from people with experience. My experience only deals with trying to get these 2 SD cards working with other devices & will result in for formatting the cards.

NOTE: Also, I do believe you need the nokia desktop software install to transfer file, but am not sure. Another thing, if you do find the sd card is empty, maybe reformatting it in the nokia phone, you'll be able to directly put the sd card in your pc & use your partition recovery tools on it.

Best Digital Media Recovery Software

Hi,

Congratulations on becoming a father!

If the memory card is not recognized in the PC or it is impossible to access the data on it, the controller on the card is damaged. There is only one way to get the data back, digital media recovery and directly access their raw data with a programable digital media recovery tool.
