Negri please...

Negri was great to deal with. I will certainly use them again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
Ok. I picked mine up front Fed.KINKOS store yesterday.

Ordered from Negri on January 28th

The box was factory sealed and wrapped in celephane.

The tab booted up to Chinese language.. Hahaha..

But I managed to switch it to US English...

Now tonite, after work.... Ill stuff my att simply card in it

And jack around with it some more..

oh yeah... I also did a OTA update...

This thing sure is nice so far...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] codeworks:
So, for those that are ordering the 3G version from ebay Seller Rose528400...

Does it come with a USA based charger?

Does it have the English language on the tab?

Works on ATT 3G with a standard SIM card?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
Mine did not come with the US charger....

BUT the tab connector to USB cable was separate..

So you can hook it another comparable charger..

Ill use the one that came with my NOte..

Plus they are common at Walmart.. Kmart. .. Etc...

It does have the English Language installed.. But its not the default language on mine..

Had to go to settings to change it.. Its easy cause the icons are the same..

I intend to put my sim card in it in about 4 hours..

I have every expectation that ot WILL work...

Make and receive phone calls.... Send and receive txts, mms and emails.. All with or without wi-fi simmotainiously.... (spell check would have nothing to do with that word)... @ 3 g speeds...

Its gonna be fun..

Good luck

***EDIT***

sorry I didnt fully read your question...

I got mine from NEGRI

and NOT from from ebay Seller Rose528400...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mickliq:
Just to confirm, the Negri Gtab 7.7 comes with a 30 pin to standard USB connector, which I can plug into a standard USB to AC adapter? I've got one of those for my phone (I use a Micro USB to USB and then into the USB->AC Adapter) so that would be fine.

I just snagged a Gtab 7.7 Wifi only from Negri...the wait begins!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] MRSAMSUNG:
There are other options

There are options, go to endgadget and read the comments sections. I tried to post links but since I am a noob and need 8 posts I can't post links...

Anyhow if you look on ebay, (where I got mine) I got one new from hong kong for 530 shipped, it took only a week to arrive, couldnt be happier!

Has anyone tried buying it from Expansys?

I was wondering if someone bought it from them.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sickwitit:
I bought the wifi version and it gets delivered today 2/8/2012
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] RipplingHurst:
So how is the white one version? Is it metal or plastic?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] richB7:
White? Do you mean silver? Most of the back is brushed aluminum with plastic on the top and bottom edges for antennas. I got mine from Negri shipped from Hong Kong since you won't find it in the US until Verizon starts selling them.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Shurafa:
+1 for Negri. I bought 2 from them...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] RipplingHurst:
Negri sells them too, white and black. For me, that is bogus, until someone proves otherwise.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
To use the saying that seems to be common in this thread I also "pulled the trigger on a wifi 7.7 at Negri". Ever since I got my 7.0 plus Ive always known that even though it was nice, it just wasnt the one I really wanted. So I returned my 7.0 plus, and a Blackberry Playbook that I didnt want and ordered the 7.7. Normally I wouldnt have spent that much money on an online company I hadnt heard about, but thanks to this thread, and the the fact that I was able to use Amazon payments to check out I wasnt worried. Thanks to all the people in here that recommended Negri. I got it for $572 shipped. I was told in chat that it should only take 4 days. So now the waiting game.

PS: The coupon code "gift" no longer works

PSPS: Can anyone that has bought the 6810 from Negri confirm what type of charger it comes with. I downloaded the manual and it shows a different connector than we use here in the US. So just want to make sure Im not going to have to buy an adapter. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] unremarked:
It comes with a connecter for a Hong Kong outlet.

Negri's awesome enough to go ahead and include an US adapter for free.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
I bought mine from Negri months ago for $638 and some change.(using the "gift" code)

I had to wait 10 working days while they re-stocked.. No biggee since I shop for deals and not impulse.

But like others, it only came with an overseas charger adapter.. Im using my GNotes USB charger with the 7.7's 30 pin to USB cable..

Do you'se think I ought to write to Negri and ask them to mail me the correct U.S. adapter??

Think they'll do it??

Thanks....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I'm telling you people, if you want to get a 7.7 quickly get it from this seller in Singapore. Two business days.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
It certainly wouldn't hurt to ask. The worst they can do is say no. I had the US adapter included in my order from Negri.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
Thanks......... I did write them.. We shall see if they answer my email.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rmm200:
I can't quote a reference, but I think Negri monitors this forum, and seems quite interested in maintaining good customer relations. I think your chances of getting an adapter are pretty good.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
well I couldnt wait....

I went to Best Buy and for $8.50... Bought an adapter for N/S America.

it plugs right in to the existing overseas plug..

Nice..

See.. the stock charger is a 2.0a output....

And my other charger was only a .7a

Now I can finally take advantage of the quicker charge instead of waiting hours and hours..

My GNote charger is a 1a charger.. but it comes with a european adapter and it's loose..

you have to prop it up in a certian way to get it to make contact...

HASSLE!

Now everything is cool..

If Negri comes thru... then I'll return this one to Best Buy.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] USMC44:
Noob question....will the charger for the original galaxy tab work with the 7.7?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab

Semper Fi!!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] teiglin:
I don't know what the power output of that charger is, but the connector is the same, so it will work at least.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Yes they do monitor. POST #7

Also is this the type of adapter Negri sends? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] skeeterpro:
As do the chargers for the GTab 7+!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kflanegan:
Yes, this adapter looks identical to the one I received with my Galaxy Tab 7.7 6810 Wifi. It worked great but made for a bulky connection to the wall. ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Just got my 7.7 today from Negri. Charging it now. Ive had A LOT of tablets since I finally decided to buy one. Lets see if I remember them all. Nook Tablet, Nook color, Vizio Vtab, Kindle Fire, XOOM, Acer A500, Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, Blackberry Playbook, (Not all at one time), and now the 7.7. And I must say this one is really nice. (Well considering I paid almost 600 it should be). But the build quality and silver back looks awesome. Now onto accessories. Skinomi screen protector, Official Samsung book cover case ($50, but to protect a $600 tablet well worth it), a usb adapter, new charger (This puzzle piece adapters got to go!!). And last but most definately not least, a Squaretrade Warranty. $54.99 for a 2 year standard. Add drops and spills for another $45. So about a $100 to be fully covered. And since I already have 2 other warranties with them I get 30% coupons all the time. Have 90 days to buy one from purchase date.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] USMC44:
Bought my 6800 international version from Amazon. Ordered it around 4pm on Mon & it got to me the next day with FREE shipping. Totally unexpected.

Gave it a full charge, using my original galaxy tab charger, and started my new adventure. :-) I must say the battery life is crazy good. 1 day & 8.5 hrs on one charge?!?! Wow!!! The screen is beyootiful as well. Everything seems really quick & responsive. No dead pixels. GPS, wifi & BT on point. More observations later.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Negri has the 6810 for only $498.50. Sucks I just paid $572.50 less than a month ago!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TBarb169:
That's the price we pay to be on the bleeding edge of technology:D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Yea, guess so. Still love it. Worth every cent.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
Hmmmm/ it may be worth a try to write them & politely ask them to price guaranty match the current price, or a % there of.

Alot of places might give you a 30 days price... because it's easy for customers to just return the item... then re-buy it at the lower price..

It wouldnt hurt to write them, plead your case and ask...

Good Luck.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Yea, thats the first thing I thought of so I checked their policies on it. Its only within 7 days. And you cant use the threat of return with them because they have very strict return policies. As much as 15%-45% deducted, and thats only if its within 7 days. Heres their policies.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
http://www.computerworld.com/s/arti..._malware_op_may_have_infected_5_million_users

Computerworld - The largest-ever Android malware campaign may have duped as many as 5 million users into downloading infected apps from Google's Android Market, Symantec said today.

Dubbed "Android.Counterclank" by Symantec, the malware was packaged in 13 different apps from three different publishers, with titles ranging from "Sexy Girls Puzzle" to "Counter Strike Ground Force." Many of the infected apps were still available on the Android Market as of 3 p.m. ET Friday.

Edit:Credit for this goes to Gio from The Collective. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Thanks for heads up Tx!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mateusm:
Some say the Android Market isn't safe, but the problem are the users themselves, people just download any app from the Market thinking they are safe...

it's just like going tho the supermarket and not looking at expiration dates in food, then going home and getting diarrhea because you ate something rotten. hahaha

And that's only from the Android Market, imagine the people who install hacked apps and stuf..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I think that Google should do a better job of scanning/screening apps before they're released for mass consumption. This should be the first line of defense, but as you stated, it ultimately comes down to the end user being smart about what they install.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Agreed. It all comes back to why we get irritated at some new users posting when they have a problem and post before looking for the answer.......they dont want to read. Good practice would be to read the reviews before downloading.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Well I don't know where Lookout gets their information about not calling it malware but according to wikipedia

But that sounds exactly like what this software is. And I have seen it before on my phone. It doesn't matter how careful you are even if you do read the reviews on the market. I had a free game called Bocce Ball. It had great reviews. Had it for many months. Then one day it wouldn't work unless I updated it. Low and behold I had notifications pushed to my notification bar, my homepage was hijacked, and I had search icons on my homescreen.

There lies why apple may be superior and I hate to admit it. It actually is in control of everything that gets posted on it's market. And with the variety of OS versions out there for android, Android is starting to look like Windows more and more everyday.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] css771:
Hi all,

I had rooted my nook tablet using snowball mod about a week ago and I loaded CWM on to the emmc using indirect's one-click recovery flash app. It was all working fine.

I wanted to return to stock and so put the 1.4.0 zip on my sdcard and rebooted. But it went straight to CWM. So I remembered i had to restore the stock recovery and rebooted and flashed stock recovery. only this time, I used the updated version of the one-click app (the updated version of 26th Jan) and hit reboot to recovery. This caused my NT to be in a boot loop ever since.

I have tried the 8 failed reboot method to initiate a factory reset but it didn't work. I also tried using the Nook Recovery Fix but i can't get to install the drivers since if I connect the NT to my computer, it keeps rebooting over and over again and I can't get to show for longer than 2 secs in device manager to install the drivers for Windows. (I was using it on Ubuntu till now).

My NT just turns on, the black screen n logo shows (The "With adobe reader" screen) however it doesn't go any farther than that. It just shuts down. The white nook screen does not even show. It's like it's going through multiple failed reboots without me holding down any buttons. Any help from you guys is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Data Injures:
You have to make a bootable SD with CWM on it so that the computer can actually catch the Nook long enough to do anything. Also, I'm pretty sure the B&N drivers restrict what you can do, but I'm not really sure what's gonna happen if you connect for the first time in CWM. I say use the Nook and Zergy method for the drivers (the first part, runmefirst.bat)

After that, try the Nook Recovery. It should work. I'm not positive on this, but from what I've read, that's what you do.

CWM SD:

Really though, no promises. Good luck. Lemme know how it turns out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] css771:
Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I just spent a half hour on the phone with B&N customer service and they agreed to ship out a replacement device. The rep said it was a hardware failure that was causing it to act like that. I was a bit surprised at that. I'm not sure she knew what she was talking about. Anyway I had bought mine off craigslist. And now I'm getting a new device so I guess I can't complain. But I'll try later tonight to restore this one using the bootable CWM you linked to. Thanks again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] css771:
Follow Up

Just thought of posting a follow up. The bootable CWM method worked. I was able to fix the recovery. Most certainly not a HW problem like the tech claimed. It's working fine now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Data Injures:
I'm glad to hear that! Now if I have the same problem in the feature I can just follow my own advice. Lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nookt_noob:
So I have basically the same problem. My girlfreinds nook was rooted but the OTA update stopped the root from being effective. I tried the sd card revert to 1.4.0 and I hade the problem with the "n" butting not working. When i tried the 8x reset the nook went into an endless boot loop where I see the back screen and the next white screen flashes for like 2 seconds and then reboots. I tried to make the CWM SD card but it still just reboots. My question is that since i never had the CWM mod installed am I pretty much hosed or am I doing something wrong?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] winsettr:
What are you using to make the CWM SD card? I strongly recommend using GParted either from a Linux live image or there is a GParted live image you could use. When it works correctly, the bootable SD card that should stop the boot loop.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sailerph:
But why did the boot loop problem occur in the first place ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] myl0h:
From what I know of, if you install stock recovery and hit the reboot to recovery button, it initiates the stock recovery which then causes the error. Though I don't know the reason behind nor what's causing the problem, just relaying what I have read around the forums.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Denmmurray:
From what I understand when you flash CWM it's recovery replaces the stock recovery so when you try to install the stock recovery, which you should not do, it is trying to pull from something that's no longer there. I learned this lesson the hard way.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] myl0h:
Hm I actually unrooted my nook a couple of times to play with it. I reinstalled the stock recovery from the app on multiple occasions, but instead of clicking reboot to recovery, I ran the one click unroot and never ran into any trouble.
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
TO MODERATORS:

before you remove this thread --- please read:

I started to get a little p*ssed off regarding the infrequency of updates and lack of actual benefits to being a "groupie" for Galnet... so I posted this on the forums...

:)

"

BBenefits of being a groupie right now:

None.

Reasons:

-there are already several implementations of MIUIV4 for the SGS2 based on work by Team Hacksung. I would have thought this was something Galnet would already have a release for with similar functionaity.... in reality... no...

-the changes made my the Galnet team are rather minimal over the weekly updates provided by the MIUI team already

-lack of frequency of updates, lack of actual changes from stock versions - half part of the previous reason, and half because you would expect a modified version of a ROM to be modified more often than it's "stock" counterpart.

-reverting to stock animations in MIUI builds... this is an attractive feature which might actually encourage more folk to sign up, yet seems to have just been excluded from weekly builds....

Can I just make raise something worth discussing please in that the reason the forums are so completely void of any discussion (which roughly translates as "interest") is because there is almost nothing happening.

If there are lots of things happening in the background, you need to let people know. Before you start flaming me, I've paid less money for PC games that took years to develop and are still being updated on a regular basis. I understand that paying to be a groupie wasn't just for our benefit, but to aid and encourage development, but it's certainly not marketed as a "donation"... it's marketed as a subscription... and since I joined.. there has been 1 or 2 releases...

Please do not flame me purely because you are passionate about open source development and because you don't think we have a "right" to complain... but I am starting to understand why Galnet has become the swear word of the XDA environment.

........ "

Don't want to discourage development and be unfair to the competion -- but my last comment pretty much sums up the issue...

EDIT:

I will not post links to what I am talking about, those who are aware will already know who/what I am referring to.
[Galaxy S II General] Coedy:
I stopped using Galnet as I found releases a number of days late and they seemed to get worse and worse (their reaction to their rom not booting correctly was 're-wipe and reflash before rebooting after first install....why not just fix that and re-upload it...).

As soon as I saw they were using their forums to advertise their web design services I decided to not bother checking back. Clearly not making enough from their groupie system...Probably for the reasons you posted.
[Galaxy S II General] override182:
I was "THIS" close to join the groupie back in the "chameleon" days but i was lucky that i changed my mind. Galnet has depreciated and i dont have any faith in them anymore. They used to be a quick and fast release group eventhough people label em as zipper/cooker but now, its almost dead.

Plus i live in the world where Galnet only release much for NexusS and GalaxyS so, bye bye Galnet. Your zipping work has been pleasant for me all these while curing my tears upon Bmarko leaving MIUI development
[Galaxy S II General] crachel:
Galnet ROMs are banned from XDA for several reasons, not the least of which is GPL violations.

So, I don't see how discussing this little drama in the GSII General Section serves any purpose whatsoever but to bring nonsense that the overwhelming majority of people here could not care less about.

Closed.
