One cashier girl at home depot followed me to the door and said, "Excuse me sir, is that a phone?" I said ya.

One guy was teasing me and jokingly said, "Man, can you talk to satellites with that thing?" And I said, actually I can. Anywhere in the world. And he just shook his head and I smiled. I have the bluetooth satellite communicator.

Most of my friends or colleagues ask "What's that? Is it a tablet? Can you make calls with it?" When I say it's from Samsung, most assume it's called Galaxy Tab, which I'm fine with. As long as you don't call it an ipad!!

Usually the next most inevitable question is "Does it look funny when you make calls?" and guys will say "It's hard to fit into the pocket. For ladies it's easy as you put in your bag."

Anway, one of my colleagues got the Note and I like to believe it's because he got to try putting mine in his pocket. Yay! ;)

It's incredibly large only to people used to using iPhone's and such...but really, it's the perfect sized phone. 90% of the time we're browsing the interwebz or gaming or whatever...so it makes sense not to have a device that you have to hold a foot from your face to able to see.

I have almost hit the purchase button on the note but considering value of atrix 2, which only has slight less performance combined with quad core 10" Transformer which will probably get ICS before note.

Anyone else thought in these terms and still purchased note? Any realistic justifications or "just bought what you wanted"?

Same price.

Two different items my friend, go with what suits YOUR needs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
I think when we consider these devices needs have little to do with it. I am doing just fine with a transformer and a symbian phone. I just WANT an android phone because I do use the tablet every single day and it is so awesome. So the choice, for me, is a lesser android phone and the new quad core (giving my existing transformer to a family member) or the Note. I am certain that ICS will come to the Asus device way before it does to the phones and I am keen on getting ICS. Don't think it will at all to the Atrix 2 or this would be an easy decision for me. Other choice for me is the HTC Vivid which will probably get ICS by end of March; that would be more expensive to get than the Atrix 2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportedwood:
Personally, get the note. My gtab10 hasn't been turned on in weeks and I used to use it every day for work/play. The note (for me) totally fills the tablet role while still being a phone AND has the advantage of always being with me.

if youre going to get a phone and a tablet anyway... why dont you just wait for the asus padfone? its a quad core tegra3 phone that docks into a tablet. best of both worlds.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
A great idea and one I have considered. Especially since Asus has been FANTASTIC about releasing updates on the transformer.

But I am afraid if I did that, then when it started shipping I would want to wait on the newly announced 8 core device, and when that starts shipping I may want to wait on the newly announced 16 core device and...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psionic11:
I'm not up to date on the Asus specs, but here's a perspective you may want to consider:

Fuhgedda about all dem fancy specs...

What do I mean? Well, super quadcore specs only really count in one area -- games. The Note already has a good arsenal of games, and with OnLive maturing, it won't really matter too much anyway. In other words, for gaming, besides display size, Note == Asus.

For everything else, including e-books, web surfing, remote PC, music/video... these are easily handled by anything dual core+ and above. Again, Note == Asus.

So the real question is not hardware specs, but usability. Do you prefer a bigger platform that a large tablet offers, but that you can't bring with you everywhere? Yes?... then Asus. You will still need a separate smartphone for everyday and everywhere use, however.

Or do you prefer a device that gives you just about everything you need in your pocket (including a portable pocket gaming console)... If so, then the Galaxy Note is your answer...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souai:
8 cores are barely viable on PC, so you wont see them on phones anytime soon. unless they start playing it smart and taking advantage of CUDA instead of the cpu, then they could save power and still have kick ass performance.

as an example, my cpu has 8 hyperthreaded cores overclocked to 5ghz and draws 200w of power. my old geforce gtx560 ti soc has 384 cuda cores running at 2ghz and also draws 200w of power. take a guess which one can handle calculations faster?

if they start working on improving the way the GPU is used on phones, we can have faster phones that use less power.

but since the asus padfone is supposed to launch q1 2012, its not that long of a wait for a kick ass setup.

the asus padfone is a quad core phone that docks into a tablet. ie. you have the portability of a phone whenever you need it, and you can dock it into a tablet whenever you want to.

not too sure about you, but tablets are pretty portable. you can just carry them around in your messenger bag since some tablets only weigh like 700g.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
OK... Quick question. Why does ANYONE need 4 cores on a PHONE???? What would you be doing to require 4 cores? Really!!! Angry birds? The top games? Some picture editing (which is still fine, and in reality, all you'd need is more RAM rather than more speed)?

4 Cores seems like over kill right now and for the next 2-3 years. I don't see a use for it. I use my phone for:

calls, casual gaming, browsing the web, watching videos, listening to music. I also had the blackberry 9900 which was a 1.2ghz single core, and I didn't get any hiccups on that device. Now we have 2 1.4 ghz processors.

ICS will come to both devices. pick the device you MOST like. Don't get hung up on processors on mobile devices that are originally intended to make calls and write messages. Sure, it's important, but I wouldn't want mediocre battery life and 4 cores that I wouldn't even use. That's just me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
Good points.

However, I do believe that the quad cores, per everything I have read, get BETTER battery life due to increased efficiency. We will have to wait and see about real-world performance.

Will make decision today, either a 32GB note or an HTC vivid.
[Kindle Fire General] digital4282:
I've searched the forums, but none of the guides fully answer my question. I don't want to brick my device, but I got a new tablet for Christmas (Samsung Galaxy Tab) and I would like to use my Kindle as en e-reader again. I installed CM7/FIREFIREFIRE/TWRP and I would like to go back to fully stock and rooted kindle. I would follow the instructions that others have posted, but I am afraid of bricking my device since none of them say anything about this setup.

What should I do?

Thanks In Advance, and sorry for being a noob, just don't want to have a $200 brick. :)

Merry Christmas to you all my xda peeps!!!

Today I bring you another review on a case I ve been sporting for a week. Its the Body glove Gray matte with a kickstand.

Pretty much a decent case...for my previous experience with every bodyglove case ive ever had, that had a matte finish always peeled off a little or a lot

Kickstand feature is pretty cool, nice angle and with the right screen protector it would be amazing

Bottom part doesnt deliver enough protection in my opinion

Enjoy!

Hello, I'm having a quark with charging my wifi tab 10.1. Perhaps it is my frustration in looking for a reason or just not wanting to accept what I think it is. But I can't seem to find the answer. (I think the problem lies in voltage output)

The problem is this, If I use anything other than the wall plug + usb cable that came with the tab, I get a red mark in the battery, indicating what I am only assuming means that it is not charging.

Have had several HTC and now samsung devices I have plenty of the wall chargers(receptacle for the usb cable). Tab wont charge when plugged into pc either, give the same red indicator.

Thanks to any help
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mass Zero:

I can't charge it using the cable it came with either by USB or by Mains... exact same issue you guys mention :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsafety:
I am not sure if I can provide the exact answer to your question but this is what I have learned. The Tab needs a two amp power source to charge while it is operating. Most USB chargers and ports on computers only put out about .5 amps.

If you power off the Tab and plug it in to a computer USB port, the device shows that it is charging but if it really is, the pace is very slow. I tried to charge mine from the USB port on my laptop after powering off. After two hours of charging, I did not see much if any evidence that the battery level had gone up.

I have not yet found a 2 amp USB car charger that will accept the Samsung power cable but it seems reasonable to me that if you have one of those, you should be able to charge the device in the car. Of course, you could buy the Samsung car charger which I am sure works.

Hope everyone is having a good time off!

Just a question I've been wondering the past few days.

Is it possible, for GB and future HC releases (if we get HC capacitive working someday) to make both the portrait and landscape buttons working at the same time?

So that would mean, while on landscape, being able to use the portrait buttons as well as landscape.

Reason I am asking about this is because it allows us, or rather me, to hold the tablet more natively at a non-awkward position. So you could grip both sides in landscape, press the back button there with your thumb without having to move your hand down to the buttons below.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Not to worry, in Honeycomb and ICS the buttons are all disabled by default as they are no longer needed since the on screen system bar replaces those functions. IN GB a clever developer can do anything, but its such a special case, not sure its worth the effort. It's certainly not easy.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vancraft:
Evidently the HC code can be edited to enable the keys; according to a thread about the Dell device that still utilizes the feature. I'd further like to see the system bar disappear, or move to another edge, like windows OS's allows.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
With enough time and money, software can be changed by clever developers to do anything including making the buttons flash, rotate and change colors, but for now, there is no option to turn them back on in HTCs HC implementation. Hard buttons are not part of Goggles base software.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Master Melab:
I was just reading up on how flashing certain bootloaders can burn an SBK on the device and my mind flashed back to the Xbox 360. At some point, Microsoft decided to have every update blow a fuse to prevent downgrading (probably a counter-like mechanism) and hackers managed to prevent this by ripping out a single resistor that provided the necessary voltage to burn the fuses. If Tegra 2 devices have a resistor outside of the SoC's silicon that does the same thing, then perhaps it could be removed so no idiot or update will burn an SBK.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rumpleforeskin:
Never heard of such a mechanism...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 1337GameDev:
Doesnt make sense... What happens after its blown? Can't update? Never downgrade? I doubt they would have put that into a MOBILE device. They don't really care about software.
