[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UK BRIT:
I would say i'm a basic user of my tab...i haven't rooted it as no idea how to go about doing that.

Overall for what I wanted it for, it's exceeded my expectations. I haven't encountered any issues with newton rings (touch wood) not lagging.

I have the 32gb wifi only version and I would suggest this is the optimum size. I feel the 16gb would be way too small.

Download dice player or another as this will play most files thrown at it. Also pay for the HDMI and USB adaptor to be able to watch on your TV or to transfer files. I've found this the easiest way to get files onto the tab rather than messing with Kies (don't go there) or using wifi explore options.

I wanted a tab for on the go, watching movies that i've downloaded without the need to convert (as with ipad). For this reason, it's a great tab, light and widescreen! Nice widgets and can customise the home screen. I'm sure I could get more use out of it, but I've come from apple products so new to android.

With the release of the TF2 coming nov 9th I'd definitely wait for that. If the Tegra 3 can run 1080p smoothly I'm making the switch over.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nainconpetant:
i have the 16gb metallic grey for 3 weeks now. I live in canada, i work as a real estate broker and am using the tab a lot, especially outside.

Here is fall season, temperatures are getting colder. I didnt have any problems with my screen. I really like my tab.

At first, i wanted to wait for TF2, but since they never said the exact date it would be release and that i was waiting since august, i bought the Galaxy 10.1 and i have nothing bad to say.

The only thing (as stated by others) the lack of sd/usb/hdmi slot turn me down a bit but u can fix that easy with thoses 2 : http://www.amazon.ca/Samsung-Galaxy...GY7Y/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1320212663&sr=8-7

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
I'd wait if I was you. The GT10 is not perfect. Sometimes they have defects (gasp!). And then when you call customer service--they don't even speak the same language and they ask you questions! Can you imagine being asked questions! It's terrible! It's like they're saying "I hate your stupid face." when they ask you to "press the power button and tell me what happens." And performance? Well, it's good, but as soon as something new comes out it will totally suck. Like "wow, how did I ever use that" sucking. It will be abysmally bad! Everyone will laugh at you.

At some point, they will make a perfect piece of technology, then you won't need to ask because it will be perfect. Also, I think you should wait to breathe until the air is perfect. Hold your breath and I will tell you when it's time to breathe.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
Oh wow that's very helpful and original.

I don't have 500 bucks to throw at a device that may have a design flaw nor the time to chase around getting it repaired because of persistent problems and so was trying to gauge the reliability of the device and extent of any problems.

You obviously have too much time if you can write all that dribble. If you don't like the topic don't read it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nainconpetant:
Dude, there will always be something better coming out, if he wait for that "perfect" product, well he will never buy something.

I didnt want to spoil my money either. Here in canada, with a 3yr sim card data plan, i got a discount and my tab cost me 350$.

Before taking my decision, I've looked at almost all review on the web, went to stores and played with all the tabs.

At the end, it will be a personnal decision. Think about ur needs, no product is perfect, it might defect, thats why u get a warranty when u buy it. For me that was another reason not to buy online, just in case i need service on the tab.

Now for the reliability, since we live in differents parts of the world, i guess nobody can give you a 100% advice about it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klub242:
For my two cents, I love my Tab, think it is definitely with getting the 32 GB version, and was unlucky enough to have a problem with the charging connecter breaking. I bought it on Craigslist like-new, but didn't have a receipt. I called Samsung in the middle of the night (24 hour support), and was able to get everything taken care of. It took five minutes, at 1 am Pacific time, speaking to someone with an American accent. They sent me a return label, so I didn't pay a penny to get it repaired, even without proof of purchase. Got it back today, two weeks later. Impressive.

I've got to say, I work with a fair amount of tech support for my job as an audio engineer, and am always amazed with how much better support I get from dealing with companies like Allen & Heath through my work, because we have pro accounts with them all. Samsung was nearly on par with them. That's saying something if you ask me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas3G:
Bought the 3G 16 GB version and love it.

The USB adaptor was included free in the box.

This beauty is the next best thing after my wife and kid :D

16 GB is more than enough, as USB works fine, and if you need extra space there is always the GoFlex Satellite with 500 GB. I think buying 32 GB does not make any sense.

Got also the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android 3.0+ and together with the tab it's a killer combo

So if you are really interested in getting a tab, I would go all out for it
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
Ok, kinda stupid question, but here it goes:

I have played around with the black version of 10.1 16GB 3g version and the back plastic has a somewhat "rubbery feel". What I want to know is whether the white one has the same feeling or it is glossy and "shiny"... Well Iam ordering tomorrow and want to know please!:) Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AODfan:
I was going to make my own thread regarding the GT10.1 before buying one, but thought I would just post it in here:

My question is currently from what I know with stock you have to use Kies to transfer data/backup. With a custom ROM does still happen or can I just use it as a mass storage like all android phones?

I planned on getting a 32gb, but don't know if that is the smart choice. With all kinds of cloud and online storage is 32gb even needed? I know it has no expansion on the device itself.

Lastly, one of my reasons for getting a tablet is for reading all my ebooks and especially PDFs, how well do these look on the 10.1?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceTrader:
Its glossy and shiny in US

Sent from my GT-P7510
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
Since the source hasn't been released, the roms aren't exactly custom but modified stock ones. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). So they work with kies.

@ansonantonym: thanks:)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AODfan:
So, basically all the owners of a Galaxy Tab have to go the route of Kies to do any kind of data transfer(From PC). Fun.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
Well, if indeed I am correct, yes. BUT you can also use dropbox or sent an email to the account that is linked to the tab containing the data. And there is always the option of buying the USB adaptor... Ok I admit that as far as connectivity is concerned, Samsung behaves like Apple but imo what sucks about Apple is not the hardware but the software.

Off topic:

Lets hope that Samsung delivers ICS as well, thus giving us Apple like support!:)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtran2988:
I have a 10.1 and I love it. The only thing I can criticize about it is the lack of ports. I understand I can buy dongles or make them, but I just wish I could use a hdmi out mini straight from the tab.

At this point, I would honestly wait to see how the TF2 fares. If it's not that much of a jump (which i doubt it wont be) I'd get the 10.1. It's not at all a bad tab, I just see more things I want in the TF2. How I see it, the 16gb 10.1 is 449.99. The TF2 is 499.99 (as far as I heard, and assuming 16gb) but it sports a quad core in it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceTrader:
I never used Kies for data transfer.

If you have a windows system with windows media player 11 and Samsung drivers installed, the tab will be shown as a device under My Computer.

You can just do the file transfer by browsing it.

Or you can just transfer files over wifi

Sent from my GT-P7510
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcoulson:
Yep - or why not install ftpserver on your tablet, filezilla client on your pc and transfer files wirelessly via your network. Works perfectly. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cc16177:
Have had mine pretty much since launch day and have never once regretted it. Definitely recommend rooting and putting a custom ROM on but I absolutely love it. Havent had a single issue to be honest...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaq:
need not be. just install samsung drivers in windows, when connected via usb it will display the g.tab memory as one of the drive. can transfer files directly to tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas3G:
I don't know for other countries, but here in India the USB adapter is included, when you purchase the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
I ordered today and getting it in wednesday...Can't wait!:) I hope that is included in Greece also but I highly doubt it!

As a cheap alternative, could we use something like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Female-Black-interconnection-USB/dp/B0012XXX2Q

with the provided usb/charging cable?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajnindlo:
There are two different USB adapters. For USB host you need a different cable. I got mine for $16 us on ebay.

Btw love my tab 10.1, zero problems, very fast, no lag, etc. Best tablet out at moment IMO. As for size, I use the 10 inch more then 7 inch. But the 4 inch is for more mobile use.

[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
So I posted last night about my Focus going down for the count, and well they don't have any in stock currently but I can wait 5-7 business days for one or get a HD7 has anyone tried both here? I know the expandable memory and AMOLED is an advantage on Focus but which on is better for someone who already knows how to use WP7 just want to figure my best option.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Anthonok:
They are essentially the same. I have both. Hd7 has a larger screen. The focus has a louder speaker I'm my opinion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
For your sake do NOT downgrade to the HD7s. The battery life, even post mango, is comical at best. The build quality is not even half as good, the SLCD screen is not on par with samoled, and the buttons will almost certainly be hit during any game. As far as 1st Gen devices go, focus and DVP reign supreme.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thatboydrae:
I had the HD7s for a while, until I dropped it in a glass of Jack and Coke (long story)...but I ended up getting a Focus to replace it. The screen on the HD7s is much larger than the Focus but nowhere as good. I liked how the HD7s felt in my hand, has a little weight behind it whereas the Focus is the lightest phone i've ever had. Can't really tell a difference in battery life, but I used them nonstop so I always have to charge them anyway. But like Anthonok said, they're basically the same although with HTC you're able to flash different roms.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Nah...the HD7 is sweet and all, but it doesn't have a WP7 enhancing SAMOLED. I had an HD7, I also have other non-OLED based phones, but with WP7, I firmly believe, because of WP7's style, there is no better display than OLED based. I can honestly say my Focus has not gotten old on me. Having that beautiful tile-based OS on the perfect black background charms me to no end.

You can go ahead and try an HD7, but I bet within the return period you might be tempted to return it for the Focus because you already know the charm of SAMOLED with WP7. However, bare in mind, within 1 week the Focus S will be released. It will be a substantial improvement on the regular Focus with SAMOLED+ and greatly increased specs, hardware and features.
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
Thanks guys Focus it is and noticed the screen difference at the store, and WP7 would do much better if the reps knew anything about after I showed an RSC how to utilize it he said it would be easier to push.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
An app I don't recognize appeared on my home screen. I thought my phone being unlocked in my pocket could have somehow put it on the home screen, but I don't recognize the app. It's a GPS Toggle app--or perhaps widget. It doesn't appear in my app drawer.

Any info on it and/or what app it's part of?

Here's a picture of the icon and a screenshot of the settings page it brings up.

I'm just mystified as to where it came from.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] DistrictDigital:
It's just a shortcut icon to the GPS settings menu. Most location apps utilize this shortcut.

No idea why it's on your home screen though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
Ah, thanks. I found it under dGQuickCut's shortcuts.
[LG Optimus 3D] kingfisher1111:
Guys,

I need a dual sim adapter for my LG Thrill4g(AKA Optimus 3d) was looking at magic-sim.com and they confused me.

If you look at the below link exclusive for LG Optimus #D it says they are being tested.

http://www.magic-sim.com/model.php?model=5184

And since LG optimus 3D is also called P920 and when I click the below link for P920

they say it is compatible. Not sure which one to believe.

http://www.magic-sim.com/model.php?model=5193

Anyone using dualsim on their phone?
[LG Optimus 3D] Markoldfield:
I got one from that site for my p920 and its working well. Maybe they've just not updated it?

Anyway yea I can confirm that it worked for me!
[LG Optimus 3D] kingfisher1111:
Are you using Cut Model or No Cut Model?
[LG Optimus 3D] Markoldfield:
I got the cut model as that was the only one that suggested it was compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordButtersI:
Looking at the softkeys, where is the Menu key? I see Home, Back, and the new Multitasking key, but no Menu. How can this be? The iOS method of integrating all menu options into the application UI is terrible, and what about apps made before ICS? Lack of a Menu key would make them unusable. I must be missing something here, but I can't see what it might be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
A virtual menu button appears in the form of 3 dots. It can be seen in this photo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
Nice catch. Was wondering about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Menu items are represented by the 3 vertical dots at the top right corner of apps.

The indication is that new apps should no longer hide their menus, but rather make them intuitive to access in the app's UI.

For legacy apps, we'll probably see a menu button of some type appear along with the 3 softkeys at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oxirane:
On my Honeycomb tablet either a button is in the top right corner or another is added to the bottom when menu is needed... I'm guessing HC is a good example of what we'll be getting, and if so I look forward to it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:
Thanks so much for a useful thread. I was actually wondering about that myself. Glad to know its non-obtrusive and clean
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
You have lost the search button though. Not all apps will handle this well... I had to tweak an app I was writing because of this (luckily found fairly early during testing on Honeycomb).

Of course for most apps search isn't useful - probably why they removed the dedicated key.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The idea is if the app needs search in order to function properly, you just put the search button up in the menu bar, just like they're doing with settings buttons.

Otherwise, the google search button is at the top of every homescreen now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
The menu button happens automatically (technically, since 2.3 android has called onCreateOptionsMenu at activity startup so it knows you need it already).

There simply is no search button in Honeycomb/ICS - you have to stick it on the options menu, the action bar*.. somewhere the user can reach it. That needs code (not much.. respond to 'search' in the options menu by calling onSearchRequested()).. existing apps will simply lose that function if they run on ICS assuming a button exists.

We're not talking about a lot of apps here.. Not much point in a search function in 'Angry Birds' for example. Just something to bear in mind when developing a new app or trying to work out if your favourite app will work without issue on ICS.

Home screen search is totally different.. that searches the global search (emails, contacts, etc.). Different class of app entirely.

* The honeycomb search widgets are really flexible, but of course not available unless you break compatibility with <3.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
There are already quite a few phones out there without a search button. My almost 2 years old X10 doesn't have a dedicated search button and i never missed it. The search function is bound to long-press menu at the x10. Given the fact that ICS has a dedicated task switcher button, they could bind the search to long-press home for example. Just an idea though :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Hmm.. news to me - I've never seen an android phone without one. Lucky I was doing tablet compatibility testing then :p

There will probably also be custom roms that put it back (since a custom rom can do anything it likes with the buttons.. change their apparence, colour, hide them completely, make them dance up and down..).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jebus99:
The Galaxy series in general (SGS1, SGS2) do not have a dedicated search button. They have just the menu, home and back buttons. However search is bound as a long press to the menu button which I guess won't be possible anymore. Haven't really found search to be that vital (maybe because I don't want to long press the menu button just to bring it up when I can search in other ways)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordButtersI:
Since it's purely software, I know for a fact someone will mod in a search key.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
That would be pointless. When search is available, the search box will appear in the menu bar of the app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssstoyanov:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
A portable driver isn't technically possible. However, if you go to Settings --> Applications --> Development --> USB debugging (select), it's quite likely the phone will connect and be accessible without the need for admin rights on the machine.

How to install what you find here:

Copy Zip File onto the root directory of the Internal SD to your mobile phone.

Go into recovery mode (High Volume + Home Button + Power On Button) or press on the Power menu to recovery. (I suggest clearing Dalvik and cache)

Install zip from sdcard

choose zip from sdcard (not apply /sdcard/update,zip)

Search for the Zip File

Then Yes - Install Theme.zip

IMPORTANT!!!! This is a large file everyone. Make sure if it does not flash that you have downloaded on a PC (phone downloads get corrupt) and and repeat the flash in cwm (after clearing cache and dalvik) until it takes... This sometimes takes up to 3 tries to flash (just stay in cwm and repeat and repeat until it works... It will...)
