[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] VeEuzUKY:
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a 1/2 baked product. Samsung doesn't care nor is in a hurry to update it to ICS as it should have been launched. And even after that, only a custom ROM can save this, just like it saved the original Galaxy tab 7 though the resolution and DPI were all correctly put together. The Samsung TouchWiz launcher (or whatever they call it) is a joke.. 1st thing is throw that away and replace it though, right there Ull have many problems and shortcoming showing up U'll need follow-up fixes for. Problems with dialer/SMS app and fonts I dont care, all those you can replace with free, endlessly better alternatives.. Handcent SMS, exDialer, etc.

The problem is that while the original Galaxy Tab is put together as a big phone because it could NEVER be a tablet and it works that way (just as they did with the Note and they succeeded), with the 7.7 is all in the middle, no phone, no tablet... its a great hardware with deplorable software development.

people at Samsung are either blind or stupid because ALL APPS I HAVE ON THE 7.7 LOOK HORRIBLE. Unreadability small, displayed, misuse of space... its a disaster one app at a time. I dont get it...

An please lets NOT kid ourselves that changing DPI or making the fonts big will solve the problem.. it will not.. the WHOLE thing is bad! You can change the DPI and the fonts to huge sizes sill, dialogue boxes and parts of apps will be totally wrong on all sides of the GUI! Try bumping the DPI to 320DPI (like the Galaxy Note) and downloading installing a set of larger fonts and for example open Dolphin HD and Ull see from the start dial-up page, all the shortcuts boxes are STILL ridiculously small, all on top not filling the screen all the way down and now with fonts so big they are bigger than the space inside for them because the fonts are actually NOT scaling according to the scaling and positioning of the boxes themselves. Yes open the same app on the tab 7 or Note and its all perfect as it should.. and like this are all nearly all my apps.. all a joke.. unusable and unwatchable..

Today Samsung announced a delay in the ICS upgrade for the galaxy Note and still no world for the 7.7. Actually, i hear more rumors of a [possible 8.2 or 8.3 new tablet to replace the 7.7 already than an upgrade to make the 7.7 work. Samsung makes TOO MANY PHONES and TOO MANY TABLETS and in the end, does not dedicate the time or attention to make them work as they should.. we are all beta testers of a company that is trying to cover all bases with their hardware specs and sizes.

This is NOT Samsung's fault but ours for buying their stuff. And its not just Samsung, its everyone.. everyone from HTC to Asus to even Apple just pumps out products that are not ready, awaiting months of software upgrades to get to the point as they should have been released in the first place.

Bottom line the 7.7 is a worthless and nearly unusable piece of hardware till ICS is in it, and then, it will really only get good with the amazing talent and time of this community to properly fix the ROM and make it works as it should. Took over a year for the original Galaxy Tab that was a joke as released with Froyo and the stock ROM it came with, then upgraded to 2.3 which still was horrible till then several custom ROM's made the Gingerbread base work as it should. My Galaxy tab 7 now, is a perfect machine.

It will take months before the 7.7 can ever be usable (at least for me) and I say that with a lot of worry because it suffers from many more problems and hardware/software integration mistakes from the start than the original 7 ever did! I truly cant believe the way ALL MY APPS are displayed on the 7.7.. id love to post here some screenshots of my basic dialer, web browsers, News apps etc., side-by-side between the 7 and the 7.7 so we can all vomit together.. but, whats the point?...

Lets keep fingers crossed, stay patient and ever so grateful about the XDA developers community and the immense effort and talent they put for all of us here, every day!
