[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] v6ser:
Hey there folks,

I want to buy a tablet,

Anyone knows what is the best(hardware,software and price)?

Thx for read;)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Skiirke:
Well, personally im intrested in the asus eee pad series,

the first one its i guess around 400 but im nog 100% sure.

it gives you a tablet that has the specs you usually expect

from the samsung galaxy tab for example. but some things different.

i even prefer the eee pad because you can add a dock with a

QWERTY-Keyboard that adds up a battery and a usb-hub.

i'm looking for one myself too, but you can wait for the

asus eee pad prime, it should be in stores soon. the dock included

and comes with a quad-core processor and a 8 megapixel camera with flash.

personally i think the camera is a bit too much. because its a tablet

and not a Camera.

but this is what i prefer. i hope this helped you a little :D
[TouchPad General] jordan123hi:
GTA a worked perfectly on CM7 but after ICS it will crash on missions. This is very annoying because i can not complete some missions. I understand alpha 0 and no GPU. Just wondering if this could be fixed.

Thanks
[TouchPad General] pen.suhl:
Update your app through the market. Only the current market version works.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
use my upgrade and be locked in for another 2 years or buy the international version spec'ed one minus the lte? Or should I just get the Galaxy Nexus?

Im not to crazy about the lte as im sure my home area doesnt have it anyway. And Im pretty sure it'll eat up battery. Is there a difference in picture/video quality in either one of these? Compared to the Galaxy Nexus specs wise and camera/video wise?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ryanscool:
Depends on what you use your smartphone for. If your usung it for advanced things like note taking, then the note. I personally would just use the att one,as sammy products have a pretty high failure rate, heck my infuse is still broken, i have to get a new one. If it was the international version, your 700 would gone, or it would takes weeks to get it fixed/get a new one. Instead on the nexus, you could get the skyrocket hd which will be atts version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
So the skyrocket hd will be the at&t galaxy nexus version? I didnt know that. I guess I have another one to think about, when I mentioned the galaxy nexus I meant the unlocked version.You have a point on waiting for something to get fixed when you order an unlocked version. Im not even thinking much about taking notes but more for the bigger screen. Wonder what the release dates are for the at&t version for both note and galaxy nexus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Wait for the AT&T version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
I see but now I'll be torn between this at&t version and the galaxy nexus at&t version. I would like to wait until both are released and read about complaints etc. I'll be waiting at least another month I guess. My current htc inspire is getting a bit long in the tooth you know.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ajamils:
If you don't care about LTE or worried about possible failure, get International version because it has better development support and beefier processor.

I was in the same situation as you and wanted to upgrade from SkyRocket. I ended up getting an international version because of the following reasons

- Lack of support for AT&T version (due to different processors.)

- Don't want to wait for months for AT&T version to be available.

- HATE AT&T bloatware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lamou1nr:
If you have the money to spend on an unlocked version I would do that. I was in your shoes with no LTE in the area. On top of that I didn't want bloatware or a 2 year contract (the better processor being a bonus). I spent the extra cash and could not be happier, plus development on the international unlocked version will blow the at&t versions development out of the water.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
How long have you been with ATT? Are you happy with them and pretty sure you will stay with them? If so, wait for the ATT version and get it on contract. You could always sell it and put the profit to any phone you want. The GNote blows the GNex out of the water spec wise and user wise. Once the GNote gets ICS the GNex will be left further behind. The GNote is Samsung's flagship product!

I have the International GNote and love it. I would not sell mine, but I might sell the skyrocket and get the ATT version GNote with no commitment pricing to have an LTE version...I switch between my GNote and skyrocket and my skyrocket has not been getting much love or use lately!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
I dont care much about lte because its not covered everywhere I go, and Im a bit worried about failure. Any recommend online vendors where I could purchase an international version from?

Im definitely worried about lack of dev support on at&t version that alone may push me to the unlocked version.

I've been with them for about 3 years, have a family plan with a corporate discount and I have the unlimited data plan which has recently been scammed into 2gb throttling so I am pretty disgusted with at&t for that, but I do get ok service most places with them.

I believe you on the gnote specs being better than the gnex specs, and this skyrocket hd that is suppose to be at&t's version of the gnex has touchwiz and gingerbread? No ICS? No way I'm falling for that. I rather have the gnote. Also as I mentioned about the unlimited data throttling they are now doing, even if I had full lte service everywhere I'd think I'd run into throttling faster than usual.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ajamils:
LTE is the ONLY reason why I would even consider AT&T version compared to international but since they have ruined it with throttling, I don't think that is a valid reason anymore. What's the point of getting LTE device when you can't even use it properly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Our int'l Notes dominate the Gnexus spec wise. The USA note will have the snapdragon. One of the worst and laggiest SoC's.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lamou1nr:
expansys-usa is where I bought mine. $689 then found a $20 off coupon code. It ships out of Chicago and got to me in 2 days. Free shipping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
Are you experiencing throttling as well?

Can you recommend dependable online vendors for the international gnote? Like fast delivery, low failure rate, great rep etc..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxbat121:
Skyrocket HD is not AT&T version of Galaxy Nexus. Any Nexus phone means update directly from Google, not Samsung. That's the major difference. Otherwise, the two are close but the CPU on SR HD is weaker.

If you going to buy international version, make sure you understand that you get zero warranty from Samsung USA. So, you potentially could have $600+ down the drain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
AVOID CARRIER BRANDED DEVICES LIKE THE PLAGUE!! DO NOT BUY AT&T!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] steveblue:
I did the same - expansys $689 w/$20 off coupon, free ship. I checked with expansys and they give you a 2 yr samsung Eu warranty ( must ship through them to EU to fix). Good deal and I would rather have the international unlocked, unbloated note - mainly so when I read all that devs do for it on this site, I can take advantage and not be pissed off I have some crapware AT&T version. Remember if there is a diff cpu - you get none of the dev support - basically it isn't a note anymore (MHO).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
Nice write up, but not everyone can afford unlocked devices so its pretty tough. Luckily I've been saving up for a new device.

I just cant believe that at&t's gnote is completely different from the unlocked version. The purposely cripple their devices?

Ok where are these coupons you guys speak of?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lamou1nr:
$20 off $500 or more.

Code: 20OFFLS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
Thanks I'll try them although I remember hearing Expansys doesnt pick up their phone? So I hope all goes well with an online purchase.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deymayor:
Buy the subsidized iphone and unlock it. sell on ebay and buy the intl note.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ajamils:
Just received my White GNote and it is absolutely gorgeous :). I highly recommend getting it. Big plus for me, it does not look like a bigger brother of my previous two phones (Vibrant and SkyRocket). One the biggest complain I had with SkyRocket was the change in design from the international SGS II.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lamou1nr:
That wasn't the case for me, but you will be on hold for for a bit at times.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
Where did you order your unlocked white gnote from?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
Btw, you get 4g signal/speeds on at&t with your gnote right?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
You get hspa+ speeds once you set up the apn. Of course the att version will be true 4G or LTE
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lamont72:
Wait for the att version.. I have a white unlocked gnote and I love it. The bad part Bout this is where do I go to get it repaired if something happens to it? I'm sol. I got my note from some dude off craigslist and he got it from somebody else.. Just tonight it froze and shutdown on me twice. I'm trying to figure out what cause it but I may nowbe able too. When attention comes out with there's I'm getting just for the fact that I would have a place to send it in for repairs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
Sounds finicky already, I swear if verizon had their 4gb/$30 promotion going right now I'd jump on it.

You make a good point. The thing with the at&t one is it will be different hardware and a different device altogether. Might not have the dev support as the n7000 has. That kind of worries me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ddelong22:
The thing you really have to look at is the differences between the phones themselves.

When it comes to the Note now as opposed to the AT&T version, do you want a qualcomm 1.5 processor or do you want the exynos 1.4 processor? And if LTE isn't an issue, that what else are you concerned about?

As far as the differences between the Nexus Prime and the Note, do you want a 5MP camera with the Prime or a 8MP camera for the Note? If ICS is the only thing holding you back, than just wait for the official release or the ICS kernals to be released and put CM9 on the device. The experimental ROM for the Note is fantastic so far. No issues except those mentioned already.

If you want true comparisons between the phones, go to someplace like phonescoop.com or places like it where you can see side-by-side comparisons and decide from there. If you do go to thse sites, remember that the N-7000 (worldwide) and the N-i717 (AT&T) are the different models for the Galaxy Note. I haven't seen the official name for the Prime on AT&T, but I'm sure it's going to be there soon. Hope this helps.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] imitenotbecrazy:
Its pretty surprising to me that people on here are really complaining about stupid stuff with the ATT Note. Bloat? You're on a developers forum, if you don't know how to debloat you shouldn't have a smartphone. And all the exynos purists, yes it is superior but that doesnt mean the s3 is that bad. Ive said it in other threads about this, my skyrocket is more responsive that my friends international and ATT sgs2. Debloating and knowing how to manage your cpu really make a difference. If ATT didn't tell you they put a snapdragon in the Note I doubt people would really notice, unless you had an international one next to it. I for one am definitely getting the Note from ATT for the simple reason that Best Buy will carry it and I dont have to worry at all about breaking it. AND when something else comes out I can get the Note junked out from BBY and get a gift car for full retail value of it, boom, free upgrade. Been doing it for years. I go through phones enough that its stupid for me to pay 600+ of out of pocket money when I can just keep "breaking" phones and getting them replaced with new models. Ive had about 8 phones since I upgraded in September of 2010. Work the system
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
For someone all about working the system, it seems you'd be more keen on the whole using an international phone with IMEI not in AT&T's database so you can get on the dumbphone unlimited data for $15. That saves you $15/month, which is $360 per 2 year period. So if you buy a subsidized phone (iphone for high resale value), sell it, use the money to buy an international phone and use the $15 unlimited data plan, overall you could in essence get your phone for free and maybe even profit a few bucks.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Personally, I really can't stand the capacitive 4-button layout AT&T insists on putting on all of their Android phones. Using the hardware home button to wake the device is sooo much nicer than searching for the power button on the side and hitting the volume buttons, too. Also, having just one button on each side of the home button (menu, back) lets me hit those easily without looking. I really detest AT&T for fukking up the design on all Android phones in this respect. It would be a no-brainer, otherwise, to sell my international Note once the AT&T one comes out and switch for LTE and local warranty.

Anyways, I've been enjoying my Note for a couple months already and will for another month or two before AT&T finally releases theirs. By then, I'll be looking to the horizon for the SGS3 or Note2. AT&T's delay with bringing their versions of devices is also really lame.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
That works too! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deymayor:
That is risky but for some of us who got it from ebay or other reputable sellers, squaretrade at around $70 covers it for 2 years.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] imitenotbecrazy:
I have two separate lines with ATT. One on a family plan of which I don't pay anything on so the difference of cost isnt a concern and I have a concession line through work that I don't pay anything on. Unlimited everything including the corporate unlimited data+ hotspot. So I don't pay anything for two phones with unlimited and get yearly upgrades with the corporate plan which I'd never really need because of BBYs junkout policy on their black tie protection.

I've actually never liked the physical home on the international galaxy phones. My buddies isn't as responsive on his sgs2. To each their own I guess.

I also think development on the ATT note will be fine. There are a lot of people going from the skyrocket or other LTE device that are going to want it. With the same specs as the sky (sans huge awesome hd screen) I'm hoping it will just take a recompile to work it with the different screen. I'd love for my Note to have the same rom and kernel as my skyrocket.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolas_cage:
Okay, I think I *** up my galaxy s real good I think...Everything was peachy yesterday when I perfectly flashed cyanogenmod 9. Then I decided to be a retard and flash a glitch kernel incompatible with cm9. Naturally the phone was stuck in bootloop. Then I followed this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124391) tutorial to flash back to an official stock ROM with odin to hopefully start over. However odin fails everytime to complete the flash (it always gets stuck when flashing modem.bin) and I have to pull the battery out to start over. I now also have to force the phone into download mode by putting in the usb cable holding vol +/- followed by putting in the battery, the normal button combination doesn't work anymore.

So in short: flashed incompatible kernel with cm9, tried to odin a stock rom but odin freezes at the end for some reason.

Please help guys, time is running out because the battery isn't recognized anymore by the phone, so it doesn't charge.

Many thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sernex:
Don't think it's an issue with your OS, Odin is a very "simple" tool.

I recommend trying another firmware. Like a newer Gingerbread ROM. And be aware that there are different ROM's for different GalaxyS Model (like Vibrant I9000B)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolas_cage:
Yep, you were right, the OS isn't the issue. Odin acted exactly the same. Will try a gingerbread ROM. Will I need a pit file?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolas_cage:
Well...I've already tried like seven ROM's, custom and official. Odin hangs on every single one of them. And always at the modem.bin file. Could it be that something in the phone where the modem.bin has to be is damaged or something?

@nicolas_cage, I am having the same problem, how did you fix it?
[HTC Sensation] GladiatoRiley:
Please help me! I have spent the past two days trying to fix and flash a custom ROM to my phone...

First, I followed this guide to root and S-OFF. I did everything it said including SuperCID.

I then copied this ROM, Virtuous Inquisition , to my SD Card and attempted to flash it with CWM. (Yes I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache) All that happened was it went to the HTC logo, then the Virtuous logo, then reboot. I had to restore from a backup but ther was an "md5 mismatch error" so I used a guide to fix using adb.

I then moved on to ARHD 6.1.0 I flashed the kernel recommended radio (using the adb method required) and flashed the SuperWipe then the ROM. I got stuck at the bootloader but then I realised I needed 4EXT not CWM, so I got 4EXT and I still get stuck at boot (30mins +)

Any ideas? :confused:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
So, what are the chances of Asus Global or USA offering that same program for North America region? It started in Taiwan, and in UK (although only the 6 month warranty).. but when will we see that "program" in North American region?

It's been over a month since the release of Prime & we can only speculate or assume that same deal will arrive stateside. However, I prefer to see Asus actually make an official statement.....

I really can't figure out why they are "delaying" (if they are) such announcement... Doesn't it get much more complicated as time goes on...... such as classifying the term of Prime owners who are eligible and etc (due to retail vendors still listing GPS in spec list)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pubnum:
We won't see it in the U.S., too many primes out on the market and they will continue to release them. I surmise that the only reason why they offered refunds were because of a nasty batch that was sent to the Europeans (and Britons). Plus that batch was small, so the # of returns would be small and insignificant.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
ASUS didn't offer a refund in the UK. They offered a six month warranty extension, and then merely suggested that anyone who's unhappy with GPS on the Prime return it to their retailers under UK's standard return rules. They DID NOT offer a direct refund to Prime owners beyond what they're allowed by law.

I don't know if Taiwan is any different. Whether they'll do that here most likely depends entirely on what their lawyers tell them about the likelihood and cost of a successful class action suit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
Why do people keep thinking that the refund is anything special? All they said was that you can return it to the shop you bought it at for a full refund, something you can do by law in the UK anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Yeah, what I said... :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Man, I'm still hoping for 6 month extended warranty & full refund by ASUS program to start soon here in stateside.

Or is this starting to be more and more... a wishful thinking?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
You will never get an extended refund window. Maybe an extended warranty though unless the problems can mostly be fixed in software updates. Any hardware issues should have been returned to the store in the normal return period.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mikers99:
There are quite a few people that had to send to repair as the Seller did not want to offer a refund. (Example TigerDirect and GameStop) Therefore you need to send to repair and that kills your 30 days exchange as well. They said can't get an exchange cause guess what? it is fixable! Mine is at RMA since Jan 11th in the system. Waiting for parts...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Asus Taiwan offered such deal.. (although, i don'tk now the exact detail) after a month of Prime release.

But yea, I'm starting to think extended refund window is starting to be more and more wishful thinking on my part (Gamestop.. Office Depot have crappy return policy).

But Asus announcement on GPS & metal backplate was made 1 or 2 days before 14 day return grace period (such as Best Buy).... nor did Asus give adequate time to actually return the device (except for those who follow their facebook page religiously). Thus.. why.. I'm.. still hopeful.. granted, it seems hopeless
