[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opposition1:
Hi all, trying to decide which tablet to get. Hoping to get some honest unbiased opinions. I am coming from an IPad 1 which i loved. Also, I have the $100.00 off staples coupon, however I can NOT get the Asus at 100 off. Everywhere I checked in my area would not honor the coupon because Staples does not have it in stock, I can only get the xoom or Samsung 100.00 off. SO I know most of the pros and cons of each but most reviews that favor the Asus like it because of the price cut. I am going into this with all 3 the same price (only difference being I can get a 32gb xoom at the price of the 16gb asus and samsung)

ASUS 16gb - 399.99

What I like about the ASUS:

Screen I read is the best.

Mini HDMI

SD Card

Lots of mod potential

CONS:

heavier

proprietary cable that i can not find for sale anywhere

large frame.

less than quality build

I dont care about the dock, probably wont buy it.

XOOM - 32gb - 399.99

What I like about the XOOM

Updates first

quality build

SD card slot

HDMI out

no proprietary cable

lots of accessories

CONS:

not the best screen

heaviest

seems to be a little slower than the others (not as responsive)

not a huge mod community

Galaxy Tab - 399.99 16gb

Pros:

light

quality build

smaller frame

optional keyboard if I want

nice screen

fast/responsive

good mod community

CONS:

proprietary cable

no SD Card slot (huge)

no HDMI out

So with all that said, any opinions/suggestions would really help. Like I said I have the 100.00 coupon and I hate to not use it. So with it I can get all 3 for 399.99 BUT if I choose the Samsung, I would probably pay the 499.99 for the 32 gig (using the 100.00 off) since it has no SD card slot which REALLY SUX. Id be using the tab for movie watching a lot, lots of web browsing, and some EBOOK/PDF mag reading mainly with light gaming and light music listening.

I REALLY need some help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmceeGeek:
Honestly I had the same thoughts and just went with the GTab. Since this comes straight from Google you dont have to worry about updates, this tab is their flagship right now so we get updates before anyone. Not having a SD Card slot hasnt been an issue either. Forgot to mention I bought one from Best Buy for retail price, then I found one on eBay for $600 with a screen protector and the dock, took the one back to Best Buy. Basically what Im saying is, you can find a great deal on eBay for a brand new GTab with extras like I did and still came out cheaper. If I decide to sell it, I can sell it for the same price, or a little cheaper because I didnt buy the extra $35 dock nor did I spend the $36 in store taxes.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoXOhio:
Actually the Xoom gets the updates first, not the GTab.

Anyway I had the Xoom, returned it for the Transformer, then returned the Transformer for the Galaxy tab 10.1. I will be keeping the 10.1 and love it.

The Xoom screen is TERRIBLE and it's way too heavy. And up until recently the Xoom was the most expensive tablet on the market, despite having the worst features.

The Transformer was just a big POS. Software was extremely slow on laggy, build quality was abysmal.

I have no need for microSD or HDMI so that was no big deal for me. what I wanted was a light tablet with a wonderful screen and high build quality. The Galaxy tab 10.1 is the only one that gives me that.

What the Xoom has going for it is that it is the first to get Honeycomb updates, and it's built like a tank (in a good way, meaning it's sturdy).

I would use the $100 Staples coupon and get the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Thankfully it is still shipping without Touchwiz, since I don't like how Touchwiz tries to make Honeycomb look like iOS (seriously Samsung, get off of Apple's nuts already, it's embarrassing).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4rmk:
I have both a TF and a Tab, I got the Tab from a local craigslist seller for $375 about a week before the coupon came out. I then got another Tab from Staples with the coupon for my son and he loves it. I didn't really need another tablet but I decided to try and get a TF from Office Depot for $299. The first OD wouldn't honor the coupon and the 2nd one I went to took the coupon with no hassle. I also bought the keyboard dock for the TF as well. I compared both tablets over the weekend and here are my thoughts:

- I had no build quality issues with the TF I got, it was put together great.

- I fried the TF on day 2 trying to root and install cwm so I had to exchange it for another one at OD. In my opinion the Tab is much easier to root and install custom roms but it may be just that I'm not familiar with the process on the TF.

- The screen on the Tab beats the TF hands down. The Tab has the best screen I've ever seen on a tablet, even nicer than my iPad.

- The size and form factor of the Tab is fantastic, again no comparison.

- The only thing the TF really has in it's favor is the built-in micro sd card slot and hdmi connector, plus the keyboard dock that provides a 2nd battery. For those advantages you are carrying a heavier tablet. I got the Samsung USB adapter from BB and now I can read micro sd cards on the tab. You wouldn't want to use the Tab with the USB adapter but you can copy files to/from the micro sd card into the Tab's internal memory so that helps overcome the 16gb. I liked the USB adapter so much I bought a 2nd one to keep at work, they are only $20 each. It works with every USB stick I tried and even my SD card reader with a 32gb SD card. So going on a trip I can load a bunch of movies onto a memory stick and copy them onto the Tab when I want to watch them and delete them when I'm done. The HDMI port is totally useless for me as I have no use case for plugging the tablet into my TV.

- The TF has serious charger issues. Asus is using a higher voltage than a standard USB port therefore it won't charge with any other USB adapter. This really sucks, and they are charging too much for a spare adapter if you can even find them. The Samsung uses a standard USB wall wart. You can plug it into any USB wall charger and it will trickle charge. It will have an "x" on the battery like it's not charging - but it is! It is slow charging, if you don't believe it, leave it connected all night and you'll be at 100% in the morning. I also purchased a little dongle adapter that tricks the Tab into going into real charge mode with any USB wall wart. I also have Samsung's USB car charger that I leave in my car and it charges everything, including the Tab and my iPhone. As far as I know Asus doesn't offer a car charger for the TF. The TF also won't work with standard USB extenders, you have to order special ones for USB 3.0, where the Tab works with any USB extender.

So at the end of the day the Tab is the winner....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
Well said *golf clap*. I completely agree with this post and could not have said it better myself. I was kinda upset that I only got the 16gb model but after a few days I figure it really is not that big a deal. Everything that this post says about the adapter I was thinking as well. By the time I would fill up this 16gb model I may be ready to buy another one and pass this off to my wife and daughter for kid games/apps which they won't need much space for.

The way the GT feels in your hand is fantastic, if you want a laptop get a laptop, if you want a tablet get the GT or iPad (yikes I know) or BB Playbook since they are all portable tablets and feel great in your hands.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genkilljoy:
My take Galaxy Tap 10.1

All aside... OK the Motorola has the ports, however the galaxy has the add on and would do the same....Screen quality is far greater and overall construction including wait is a no brainier...

I am still Loving my Tab...What makes it better I have a two year warranty.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opposition1:
I think I'm sold on a G Tab. Thx u guys!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4rmk:
Also you can get knock-off USB cables for the Tab from eBay for like 3 dollars. I had the previous 7" tab and bought a bunch of generic USB cables from eBay and they work great on the Tab 10.1. Now I wouldn't recommend doing ROM installs with the knock off cables, but for charging and file transfering they work like a charm! By the way all the adapter stuff from the 7" Tab works great with the 10.1 model, including the car charger. And you can buy all the chargers/cables/etc. from any AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile store because they carry the 7" Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djchad72:
Had the Asus Transformer and went throught 4 because i was convinced it was the tablet for me. When i took number 4 back, that is when i decided it was time to Tab. I swallowed the extra dollars and got the 32gb. I had purchased a 32gb sd card for the Asus and knew that was plenty roomy for media. So i decided to stick with the feeling of 'plenty of room.' The form factor difference is just crazy extreme. The Tab feels much better in the hands, which is where it is 90% of the time.

Accessory wise, Samsung has alot more out and its been on the market the least between the 3 mentioned. He Samsung keyboard dock is alot closer to full size compared to TF dock. I found myself aways having to disable the track pad on the TF and aim the fingers much more norrow. You will tyoe faster than the full touch keyboard, but not by much. The battery on the keyboard was only useful on the 3 new TF i had to update amd restore out of the box. They aways seemed to be low on battery out of the box. I think the keyboard battery suuplement would only be useful on extensive travel and use.

Lastly, yes the Xoom and Asus have ports. But what good is a tablet if its connected to something? It certainly isnt mobile. So to me the adapters make perfect sense. You only want that stuff once in a while. Why should you carry the extra bulk and weight with you all the time? You shed those ports and internal junctures and you have a tablet as light and thin as the GT. Add it when you need it and disconnect it when done. 32gb and 16gb are alot of space and if you managw what you really need vs want, you wont miss the expandable storage. There are also lines of wifi 500gb pocket drives with batteries. I truly think that will be the future vs sd card. Larger capacity and group sharing friendly. No more passing the stick around to copy.

All in all the GT is a great experience and youll only be disappointed if you just cant stand it that people have ports and you have an adapter. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djice000:
Try recovery first though bud, because if you can enter recovery then surely you must be doing something wrong to enter download. If need be, a jig from eBay (£9.99) or ADB which comes with the Android SDK :-)

Hi,

Is there any paid/free apps that can remotely wipe out phone and track phone if lost or stolen that do not require monthly payment?

Samsung Infuse 4G (AT&T)

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Seekdroid. I'm sure there are others but that's what I use.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cat2115:
thanks. I read the comparison b/t Seekdroid and lookout. Seekdroid do not need monthly fee just to wipe out data. thx
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
i have seek droid and look out. if one fails i got a back up :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
I use lookout security. it can remote wipe. It has a virus scanner and it's free. You can log onto the website and track your phone via GPS, or make it scream to help you find it in your couch.

As an alternative, if your phone is lost, you can use "Plan B" to find it and there's another one by Lookout which will wipe it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cat2115:
Don't I need to pay a monthly fee for $2.99 to have the remote wipe feature turn on?

In Market, the only LookOut i saw was the one without a remote wipe. As i mention, Lookout require a monthly fee in order to be able to wipe data.

Just wondering, y they have to charge a monthly fee just to remotely wipe? it's not like if the phone was lost/stole and the finder do a factory reset and the Lookout still able to track the phone. or can remote wipe the data even the phone was factory reset. if that the case YES i would willing to pay a monthly fee so the finder can never use the phone. Y? because i will constantly wiping the phone even. :) But then it useless to pay monthly if it cant.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiranmotha:
Is there a fast enough camera app that produse decent quality photos to be used as the default in CM7? I like d default in sence rom. Is there a similar app to be used in cm7?

Vignate, HLR Cam and all others i tried are slow. The faster cam apps produce poor quality photos.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfway:
I have tried camera360 and vignette, as they were the best camera apps they told me. Both take about 10 seconds to process a photo though which annoyed me, and imo the quality was not even better than the stock cyanogenmod app.

So I keep using the stock one, which can also make videos (as many camera apps can't). Try using a different theme that changes the layout of the stock app a little. It still looks like ****, but at least a bit better :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villelj:
Hi,

how about this?

I just install it to CM 7.1 RC and its lots better than stock camera. Better setting.

If interest, download it to link what is in page 3, then you get english version, otherwice it is china...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfway:
on page 3 it is posted "With default parameters aosp stock camera beats miui in terms of sharpness and focusing."

Also I read about problems uninstalling it, so I haven't tried it myself...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adolan:
I'm using MIUI Camera, pretty solid and good.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArbiterGR:
I've been on the camera hunting too. The ONLY app which satisfied me (and reminded me of the features my previous phone -n95- had) was Camera Advance But on the CM7Nightlies at least, the app produces a black screen when taking photos, rendering the camera useless untill you reboot the device. The dev knows about it, but it has been months since the last update.

But it's worth the try if you ask me. Photo quality is awesome.
[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
I recently upgraded my Atrix to GB 2.3.4 (official 4.5.91) and found that the SMS/MMS settings has changed. I could not find the option "Delivery report" anymore. And my phone now always indicates the pending (a clock) icon on side of every outgoing sms, though it really has been delivered already.

Anyone else got this problem? Is this a bug from GB 2.3.4 from Google or Motorola??

[Atrix 4G General] jonstatt:
The delivery report option was missing for me since the beginning. I never had it in Froyo
[Atrix 4G General] MiG-45:
It works fine in 2.2.2 and now after 2.3.4 OTA update its gone - no app can turn it on. I tryed to edit settings.mkitso from 0 to 1 (turn on SMS delivery) even try to use special characters but no way to get delivery report even in such apps like headcent sms and go sms which are used own settings for this option. Looks like it kernel or radio based thing that just filter off delivery reports! ((
[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
Yeah, I spent rather much time to search and try some solutions to fix but failed to all.

So, now its really a bug from new kernel, I think.

I just created this thread to collect confirmations from people and hope Moto or developers fix it soon

[Atrix 4G General] Richie P:

Is it a radio thing?

[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
No update for this issue :(

This is a basic function of any GSM mobile phone. But I cannot understand why they guys from Motorola decide to remove it from a smartphone as Atrix? Ist it unnecessary??

Edit: Hi nice developers,

Could you guys check and fix this problem?
[Atrix 4G General] Tchello011:
I'm using Cherryblur 1.4d and checking the settings, it doesn't have the options to send sms reports.

Besides that my messages is ok.
[Atrix 4G General] MiG-45:
of course its not it stock sms messaging - any third side apps - headcent sms or GoSMS have this flag.

I tried different versions of radio module -it doesn't solve the problem.
[Atrix 4G General] Richie P:
I'd like to bump this again, really miss this feature.

Please can a dev look into it and find out what's missing from the GB roms. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] bl0wf1sh:
Yeah, just noticed the same problem as well. Atrix on 2.3.4 (pre-installed), rooted. No delivery reports for me, using GoSMS pro.
[Atrix 4G General] Richie P:
Another bump for this....really need someone to figure this out. I'll put a bounty up - let's start a fund.
[Atrix 4G General] jainanshal:
I also want this feature. Why on Earth would anybody want to remove this option?? :mad:
[Atrix 4G General] syntropic:
Sorely missing this.. I don't get any types of confirmation anymore.. It really sucks when you are in a fight with your girlfriend....

Even if It sends.... and I long press on it, there is only a message details option, no delivery or read report anymore... WTF??

I have a few questions about modems. I am using srf 1.2 and the genocide kernal. After I flashed I compared my wifes stock epic with mine.

I used speed test and it seems like mine is worse than stock for ping and dl and ul speeds. I thought mine would be bettsr, just seems kind of odd.

Sometimes my ping can reach up to 1600. I know that is really crappy. So my question is if I flash a new modem would this help me? It seems like alot of people are using eeo3. Is that a good one?

Also people claim that there batteries die fast after a modem flash. Why is that? Do you just have to use voltage controll to calibrate your battery?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Our Epics are strange that way. Each one seems to have a mind of its own. When changing modems and/or ROMs its good to wipe the battery stats after you charge it to full. You do that in the "Advanced" settings in your Clockwork recocery. It takes a day or two for your battery to settle in after a change. Its best to try out all of the modems and see which one works best for your phone. Also, run the test multiple times.
