[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Does any one have the 7.7 and use it with tmobile sim? If so are you able to get voice+3g together? As everybody knows the original tab can not get voice+3g only voice+2g. Really tempted to get one but hesitant to do so without confirming that it can run voice+3g. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
would love to see the benchmark ^^

i saw some youtube of tegra3 handling the game pretty well, thats why i think that it would be a significant upgrade from the original tab

i haven't had any experience with mali though, but with original tab, some game are pretty laggy, thats why i tend to pick better GPU than CPU

i can live with occasional stutter or longer loading time, but laggy graphic in game is really annoying

Is it safe?

Since I have already bricked my 7.7 (international test device) is it safe for me to try and flash it with Asian 6810firmware. I know that probably 3g won't work but even that is better that not working at all. I am affraid if I do this that my tab would then be even more bricked so to say (that I won't be able to flash proper 6800 rom when it comes out). So my question is what is the worst case scenario if I do this?

You know that you're asking people to root their device to test Voodoo, right? I probably eventually will root this when there's an ICS dump out, but until then there's little reason for me to do so, especially since there's not really any dev support yet. Seeing as we've already had at least one bricked 7.7 in this thread, it might be a good idea to just enjoy the device as is and wait until more people have their hands on it who understand the internals better before rooting.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
Many of us feel that rooting is part of owning an android and that rooting makes the device far more valuable. There are some apps that I don't want to do without but that don't work without root. EG Titanium Backup or Set DNS or various ad blockers, etc.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I was under the impression from a few users over in the Note forum that $50/month was unlimited everything, including data access. Granted, the data speeds are not as fast as what you'd get on contract, but I think that's a reasonable trade-off for not being locked into a contract, getting unlimited access, and all at pretty much a bargain price.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

None whatsoever. Actually, on that subject, my SGS2, which uses the same exact display technology, still has no burn-in whatsoever since I got it back in May. So yeah, not too worried.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

What is this "modem switcher" you keep referring to? AFAIK, the 7.7 does not support T-Mobile US 3G frequencies. Period. So how will a modem switcher, whatever that is, do anything to change that?

Please explain...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] turt:
Yeah, longer as in "forever". Obviously not a long term solution :o
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
i see you are an att user so ill explain what i mean, for us tmobile users and owners of the original tab we need the modem switcher by rottohamer, basically it allows us to switch between edge+voice, to allow use of the phone feature, and 3g only mode since we can't get 3g+voice
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Alcibiade:
I think you have not searched much about the way your Tab works...

As far as I can remember (But I am on AT&T), T-mobile is preventing you from using voice on yur Tab and the only way to trick the tab in using Voice+data is by using this modem switcher which switches to 2G in order to enable voice. This is using a T-Mobile Tab, which has the hardware to work on T-Mobile network

If you buy an international version of the Tab (7.7 or original 7 or whatever else) you are going to miss the 1700Mhz band on the Hardware, and therefore be condemned to 2.5G. So you will have Voice + 2.5G data. Absolutely nothing to do with a modem switcher

I guess that's what Jade Eyed Wolf meant

I haven't done any research (Although it should take only a few minutes to read Roto's thread), just quoting from memory. Anybody else with a fresher knowledge on the matter please don't hesitate to update

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

Nope there are other cases. I am not a great proponent of AT&T but at least their 3G bands are compatible worldwide (Including Japan and Korea !) which is pretty useful when you travel a lot. Moreover you can get some extremely good prices on worldwide data packages (As far as I could look around hey are among the only one sin the US)

That being said their packages are expensive :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
thank you for the detail, i am aware that with this new tab i will be stuck with voice+edge(2.5g) i was just trying to explain to the poster what i meant by the modem switcher since this only applies to tmobile users. so basically also what you are stating is that even with a modem switcher tmobile users will not be able to get just 3g for faster browsing?(i know there will never be voice+3g, unless you use the tab oversees)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] shinji21:
Yes, you are right. No 3g on tmobile with is tab 7.7. Its the hardware.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raziel_Sicily:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Not at all actually. I'm doing that right now while I'm at work, and while my tablet is idle, and screen is off, it's charging up at about 1% every 5 minutes or so. Not too bad actually :P
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] spridell:
You are able to edit the mini apps, BUT only with certain Samsung apps. Its NOT any app you want. Only things like calculator, email, messaging, dialer etc....

Which version tab 7.7 you have?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Alcibiade:
If you buy an oversea's model (Like the HK version) yes you''l be stuck with voice+2.5G (Modem switcher or not)

However... there are rumors of the Tab coming to T-Mobile (There was a link somewhere pointing at accessories for the P6800 on T-Mobile's website, which was quickly taen down) so if you wait a little bit you will probably have it working on T-Mobile. Then... they may emasculate it the way they did for the original tab not allow voice. In which case you'll have to pray someone makes a modem switcher

Honestly AT&T T-Mobile and others must have already found out many people use their tab with voice enabled. If they study their customers habits it is possible at one stage they just stop playing with us and offer us a fully functioning device. Maybe just wishful thinking maybe...

Font Size is SMALL!

I find the font size very small. I checked it with LCD Resolution software and says it is 160. My Samsung Note is 320. both are 1280 X 800 resolution, of course Note is 5.3" screen. Font small everywhere, on stock email program, and literally everywhere. Websites are fine, you can pinch to enlarge.

Has anyone else noticed this? I showed 3 others, whom are very familiar with tablets, etc, and all 3 said the same thing. I purchased from Negri and received last Wednesday.

I had a Zoom early last year, a Tab 10.1" last year, and don't remember any small fonts. Any thoughts?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Yeah, the FAT32 (4 GB size limitation) thing is silly and really should not be something we have to deal with in 2012. But, if you still want to watch big-ass HD movie files from your Tab, you can split them into smaller clips to get around the file size limit.

Take your pick:

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-5-free-tools-split-merge-video-files/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raziel_Sicily:
THanks for your sudgestions, but i dont want to split the movie, i have very good experience in muxing splitting and encoding. i want to charge my hd movies instantly in the tablet without any other conversion. someone have tell me that it is possible to format a micro sd with 2 partitions for exemple:

if i format a micro sd of 16gb with two partitions, one in fat 32 and the other in ext4 (4gb fat 32 and 12gb ext4), the p6800 will recognize the microsd as a 4gb fat 32 memory, after that, with an android app, it is possible to mount the other partition (12gb ext4), and the tablet will recognize it as an additional usb ext4 memory. the file sistem ext4 have a limitation of more than 16gb, so in this way there isn't any problem, becouse i can whatch my 8gb movies from the mounted virtual ext4 drive (that actualy is the 12gb ext4 micro sd partition).

my question is, what is the name of the android app that allow me to mount this partition as a removable drive?

ps. what kind of filesistem have the internal 16gb memory of the p6800? it is possible to copy a file larger then 4gb into the internal 16gb flash memory of the p6800?

sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Ricey:
If you aren't using the stock samsung charger you'll need an adapter from somewhere like Ebay that enables full power charging. The stock Samsung chargers have a pair of resistors in them that lets them charge at the full power, without them it will only charge at 500mah. The USB adapters have the resistors in them to let you use any charger.

Just a quick basic question. I have only used galaxy tabs tied to carriers until now, so software updates usually rely on when the carriers decide to release them for the device. If I have a wifi only or unlocked device, which is not tied to any carrier, will I get regular software updates in the same manner? If so, are they issued directly by Samsung?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] spridell:
Usually the unlocked devices and wifi devices will get the update first. Samsung will release it and then you can update.

With Carriers, samsung will release the update and then Verizon, ATT, etc... they have to approve it so it would take a little longer.
